Enemies, a Love Story
Music by Ben Moore, Libretto by Nahmas Sandrow
Set in New York City in 1949, the opera follows Holocaust survivor Herman Broder. Throughout the war he survived in a hayloft, taken care of by his non-Jewish, Polish servant, Yadwiga, whom he later takes as his wife in America. Meanwhile, he has an affair with another Holocaust survivor, Masha. To Yadwiga, he poses as a traveling book-salesman despite the fact he is simply a ghost writer for a corrupt rabbi. He wanders about New York with a constant paranoia and perpetual desperation, made more complicated when his first wife from Poland, Tamara, who was thought to be killed in the Holocaust, comes to New York. Featuring an all-star cast with stage
Direction by Kira Simring and Music direction by Michael Pilafian
