The Long Walk Beck, Jeremy Howard

In this excerpt, Jessie Castner (Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artist Leah de Gruyl) recalls her grandmother's warning that her husband Brian "won't come home" from his deployment as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer in the Iraq war, because "if the war doesn't kill him, it'll take him here - the war will kill him at home, with you." 

Recorded at Pittsburgh Opera's final dress rehearsal of The Long Walk on January 18, 2018 at the Pittsburgh CAPA School Theater in downtown Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Opera: The Long Walk - "My Grandmother Said"

Pittsburgh Opera brings a gripping, contemporary American opera to the CAPA Theater in Jeremy Howard Beck’s The Long Walk. With a libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann, The Long Walk is based on the book The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life that Follows by Brian Castner.

The opera is a deeply personal exploration of a soldier’s return from Iraq where he served as an officer in an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit and his battle with what he calls “the Crazy” as he tries to reintegrate into his family life.

‘The Long Walk’ is the term for when a bomb disposal expert puts on their bomb suit and walks, alone, towards an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) which they must disarm. As Castner explains in an interview, “It is an extremely lonely experience; no one can help you.” However, ‘the long walk’ also refers to the struggle to re-integrate back into your own life upon returning to the United States, a struggle which Castner shares with brutal honesty.
