EYES OF THE WORLD, THE: FROM D-DAY TO VE DAY

Join historian John Monsky, host Katie Couric, conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops for a Veterans Day tribute to remember in THE EYES OF THE WORLD: FROM D-DAY TO VE DAY. In an unforgettable event from Boston’s Symphony Hall, Monsky takes viewers on a breathtaking and suspenseful journey through the events of D-Day, the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, and the Allied advance into Germany. Broadway stars join Monsky and the Boston Pops on stage to tell the dramatic story of World War II's final months in Europe through a stirring mix of music and personal stories. The show centers around the images, reportage and revealing firsthand accounts of four wartime correspondents: Ernest Hemingway, Robert Capa, Voguemodel-turned-photojournalist Lee Miller and a young soldier named Jerry, later revealed as a famous author. Their rare photographs and the stories they crafted bring history to life and illuminate the bravery and sacrifices of the men and women who served in World War II.

NOTE:� An additional "HD Edited" version of this program is available. This HDED version has a revised open with Katie Couric that's appropriate for Memorial Day use. She mentions support for our veterans "...on Memorial Day, the anniversary of D-Day, and every day." The original HDBA version mentions honoring our veterans on "this Veteran's Day."
