This two-part multimedia musical production that includes
vocalists, pianist, cellist and clarinetist was created,
produced and directed by Judy Kopelow and brings to life
Roman Vishniac’s haunting and powerful photographs
from the 1930’s of the once vibrant Jewish shtetls
throughout Eastern Europe. The second part of the evening
will feature excerpts from the opera White
Rose in a
special tribute to members of the clandestine anti-Nazi
movement, a network of student activists opposed to Hitler’s
regime that wrote and distributed pamphlets on university
campuses across Germany.
