Now almost forgotten, GIACOMO MEYERBEER (1791-1864), descendant of Rabbi Moses Isserles and scion of two of the richest Jewish families in Berlin, was the most successful composer of his era, creating the genre of Grand Opera, feted throughout Europe, and acquainted with everyone from Karl Marx to the King of Prussia. We bring this extraordinary man back to life

FOR ONE EVENING ONLY!!

We look forward to seeing all of you there!
