It is dawn. The controller sits in her tower. She is content: the airport is empty--except for the Refugee: he has nowehere else to go. People start to arrive, people for the Refugee to befriend. A married couple, Bill and Tina, are going on holiday in an attempt to rediscover romance. The Older Woman is meeting a young man whom she met in Mallorca, her fiance; she would dearly like to remain inconspicuous but... The Steward and Stewardess go brightly about their business--some of the time. Another married couple arrive, almost late for their flight to Minsk: they are emigrating. The Minskwoman is heavily pregnany. At the last moment she refuses to board the plane and her husband leaves without her. She is left stranded, mortified. The Refugee offers her a magic stone to comfort her. The Immigration Officer passes through the concourse: he is always a danger to the--illegal--refugee. The latter, warned by the Controller, manages to avoid notice, this time. The travelers are preparing to depart when the Controller announces that, because of electrical storms, all flights are indefinitely delayed.
Experience a finely woven tale of coincidence and fate masterfully performed by the Austin Lyric Opera.

Flight was a lighthearted take on what lots of us have experienced way too often - getting stuck at the airport because of flight delays. The actors had impressive voices, especially the Controller,... Expand
