About "On Call: COVID-19"
The opera's three scenes look in on a series of video conference calls by six medics who meet in this safe space to share their pandemic struggles. It begins April 2020, when in a moment of crisis, a Chicago nurse connects virtually with healthcare worker friends, each calling from a different zone: Seoul in Korea, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, a Syrian refugee camp in Lebanon, New York City, and Lombardy, Italy.
"On Call" is drawn from 200 articles about healthcare workers confronting the pandemic and is created by Bellissima Opera and produced by Working In Concert, as part the "Tales of Transcendence" Series. See more at https://workinginconcert.org/CovidOpera
