Excerpt
GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Next: a tale of heroism and love amid the tragedy of 9/11.
It comes in the form of a new opera based on one person's true story.
NewsHour correspondent Spencer Michels has this look.
SPENCER MICHELS: From the orchestra pit at the San Francisco Opera, the strains of new music to tell the story of a 9/11 hero waft through the hall during a rehearsal.
The opera is "Heart of a Soldier." And it tells of the life and death of Rick Rescorla, an amazing soldier who saved thousands of lives in Vietnam four decades ago and in New York back in 2001.
