Event Information
Description
U.S Premiere
This chamber opera delves into the haunting and deeply personal story of Baruch Milch, exploring the enduring trauma of the Holocaust and its intergenerational impact. Through a non-linear narrative, the opera unveils Baruch’s past, his survival, and the profound silence that affects his relationship with his daughter. The story oscillates between memory and reality, portraying the horrors of war, the loss of his first family, and the burden of unspoken history. The opera culminates in an emotional resolution as Baruch’s daughter confronts the silence and seeks understanding.
