DESCRIPTION

Experience an emotionally powerful and ultimately inspiring session with instructor Harold Kuskin as he reveals the poignant tale of resilience and creativity amidst unimaginable adversity in Theresienstadt, a Nazi ghetto and concentration camp. Through compelling videos and images, participants will delve into the only opera composed within the camp, alongside stirring performances of the sole children's opera staged there. Note: A few brief images that some may find troublesome are included in some of the videos.

Harold Kuskin has been an opera lover and Metropolitan Opera subscriber for almost fifty years. He served as a Backstage Tour Guide at the Metropolitan Opera House for fifteen years and has studied opera at the Juilliard School Evening Division. Harold has lectured on opera for The Princeton Festival and has taught opera at the Princeton Adult School. This will be his seventh year of teaching courses on opera at the Evergreen Forum. He is a retired lawyer and judge.
