Composer Jonathan Dove and librettist April De Angelis take inspiration from the true story of a refugee who lived at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, unable to leave for 18 years. Later turned into the film The Terminal by Steven Spielberg, Flight explores a day-in-the-life snapshot filled with all of the drama, intrigue, and passion found in complicated human relationships.
