It’s the story of Colonel Floyd James Thompson, America’s longest-held prisoner of war, who spent nearly nine years in captivity in Vietnam and Laos during the Vietnam War. Dean Anthony is Knoxville Opera’s Producing Director. He spoke with WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper about Glory Denied and the opera’s connection with the Congressional Medal of Honor Celebration in Knoxville.
