The opera 'Sweet Land' was a success. Then came the coronavirus. How Yuval Sharon's company banded together for one last show where cameras replaced the audience.

With a creative team of Native, Chinese and African American artists, ‘Sweet Land’ revisits the founding of America through a different lens.The request was one he agonized over. “How do I possibly even ask people to come together under these circumstances?” he says. “Isn’t the right thing not to come together?”

Kelci Hahn, center, and performers from the opera “Sweet Land” joke around as they wait for videotaping to begin. At one moment, Sharon volleys with the performers on various topics including coronavirus. Someone responds by suggesting he sell any of the production’s remaining toilet paper as a fundraiser for the Industry. Singers wearing bags on their heads all bob their heads in laughter.
