Norton-A Civil War Opera

By Tapsbugler

An Opera based on the life of Oliver Willcox Norton,
the first bugler to sound Taps.

Commissioned by Loudoun Lyric Opera Company in honor of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, NORTON traces the true story of Union soldier Oliver Willcox Norton as he struggles to answer what was worth living and dying for during America’s greatest conflict. His perspective – alongside those of other soldiers, civilians, slaves and freedmen – sheds new light on our past and provide hope for our future.
