ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The opera is based on research interviews of veterans and family members conducted by RAND and UCLA over many years in addition to Wells’ experiences and those of his family members working with the veteran community. “Veteran Journeys” also touches on themes of recovery from homelessness and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Wells said he developed the opera, which will be performed in oratorio style, “to share stories of the journey to recovery for veterans and their family members and the collaboration among providers to serve them on their path to recovery.
