Ahead of the company premiere of Mason Bates and librettist Gene Scheer's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, join PAS and the Metropolitan Opera for a discussion about the new work (on stage Sep 21-Oct 11), as well as performances of select pieces from the opera, performed by the PAS Choir and Metropolitan Opera stars. In this new adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, set shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism.
Rabbi Lori Koffman will moderate a panel featuring PAS music director David Enlow, composer Mason Bates, and Dr. Miriam Mora, historian of Jewish immigration.
Registration will open in August
