Dear Erich, a new Jazz opera by composer, Ted Rosenthal

The discovery of over 200 letters written in Germany between 1938 and 1941 by his grandmother, Herta Rosenthal, to his father, Erich, a Jewish scholar who escaped to the United States, inspired Ted Rosenthal to create Dear Erich. This jazz opera tells the heartbreaking story of a family's dual fates: a son's journey and a new life in the New World, and the cruel demise of his family at the hands of the Nazis which he was powerless to stop.

Dear Erich by Rosenthal, T., Wed 09 Jan 2019, From (2019/2019), Directed by Mikhaela Mahony,, Conductor Adam Glaser, Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, New York City, United States
