a Holocaust-Era Opera, April 8-11, 2010

On April 8-11, 2010, the Sacramento Children's Chorus with support from the Sacramento Opera will perform Brundibár, the internationally acclaimed 1938 children's opera. Musical accompaniment will be provided by the Sacramento Youth Symphony. The production will be held at the HiramJohnsonHigh School theatre, with four public performances and two matinee performances to accommodate school field trips. The final Sunday public performance will be held on Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah), April 11, 2010. The opera will be sung in English and accompanied by English super titles. In addition, the cast will perform selections of songs from "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," based on the collection of well-known poems and artwork by the children of Terezin.
