A new production has opened at the Houston Grand Opera in Texas that tells the story of an Iranian exile family. The work, called The Bricklayer is based on a short story by Houston-based Iranian-American writer Farnoosh Moshiri, who also wrote the libretto for the work. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Houston, the story is one that reflects the experience of many people forced into exile, from Iran and elsewhere.
