The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center is proud to welcome members of the cast to perform selections from the opera and composer Mason Bates, librettist Gene Scheer and director Bartlett Sher for a conversation about translating a book into an opera and capturing the essence of New York Jewry as the Nazi nightmare unfolded.

The Temple Emanu-El Choir will join the program with a rendition of “Ani Ma’amin,” music composed by Mason Bates.

The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Rebecca Kobrin, Professor of American Jewish History at Columbia.
