Nowy Teatr, Łódź, Poland
Tehorah (טהורה)
Tehorah, which means “pure” in Hebrew, is a heartbreaking, promising musical story about war, loss, hope, love and forgiveness. The soirée contains songs from Jewish composers and lyricists, sung in German, Yiddish and Hebrew. At the same time, Tehorah is a historical-poetic portrait. First performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, this soirée sets a sign of hope for peace among the peoples.
With Benjamin Schaefer on the grand piano.
