BCO proudly presents a free-to-the-public double bill of two profoundly moving American operas centered on the true experiences of two Holocaust survivors .Music by Jake Heggie and Libretto by Gene Scheer. These works were originally commissioned by Music of Remembrance.
Another Sunrise tells the story of Krystyna Zywulska, born Sonia Landau, a Jewish woman who escaped the Warsaw ghetto, changed her name, joined the Polish resistance, and who was ultimately captured and sent to Auschwitz- Birkenau. In 1945, she was able to escape the camp and survive, going on to write about her experiences (the most notable memoir being I survived Auschwitz).
For a Look or a Touch tells the true story of Gad Beck and Manfred Lewin, two Jewish teenage lovers torn apart by the Holocaust. The lyrics and text of the opera are taken directly from the journal of Manfred Lewin and from Paragraph 175, a documentary film featuring the stories of gay holocaust survivors.
