After Life

Join us for this special presentation of Tom Cipullo’s chamber opera, After Life. This story is led by the “conjuring” of the spirits of Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso as they reminisce on their World War II days and question who it is that has brought them back from the after life. We meet a young girl, a victim of the Holocaust, and she poses the question of why some are remembered and others are not. This performance will be preceded by a special presentation by esteemed Jewish studies scholar, Barbara S. Burstin.
