The world premiere of a new dramatic oratorio by the contemporary American composer Neely Bruce, based on the true story of Holocaust rescuer Aristides de Sousa Mendes. In June 1940 as Portuguese Consul in Bordeaux, France, Sousa Mendes issued thousands of life-saving visas to refugees against his government’s decree – the Circular 14 of the title – and was harshly punished for his actions.
