Commissioned by Dicapo Opera Theatre, Thomas Pasatieri’s charge for God Bless Us, Every One! was to bring the cast of characters to the shores of America. God Bless Us, Every One! suggests what might have happened 20 years after the famous final line of Dickens’ original tale. The libretto combines the characters from A Christmas Carol with the plot of another Dickens’ story, Doubledick, and mixes them all into the turbulent years during the American Civil War.
