Hello fellow #Pesach #Passover celebrators. I'm going to let those of you who go all-out to make your house kosher for Passover in on a little secret that I wish someone had told me decades ago when I was a young frummie:

"Invisible chametz" only matters on surfaces that are going to touch food during the holiday.

Let me explain by way of examples…

I suppose I’ve got to be glad they didn’t make this ai homunculus look and sound like me?!

Anyway, that’s a real quote, and I did say it, but only in private. Then I wrote it down, and it was translated and published in German, in the program notes for a recital of music by Jewish composers.
So, yes, technically speaking, they are right, I said that. But the fact that this is true is pure luck for them!

Last night, I sang from Letters to Fred by Bracha Bdil. Thanks to Staatstheater Darmstadt for supporting this epic 40 minute song cycle, and for the opportunity to tell Fred’s story. I am thrilled to announce that I will be singing the full work next season at Theater Hagen, thanks to new Intendant Søren Schuhmacher, our former Operndirektor in Darmstadt!

20th-century history would have been a lot different if 200 years ago, a Jewish state had flourished in upstate New York.

In 1825, Mordecai Manuel Noah started to establish Ararat there – a Jewish city-state which he imagined as a refuge for persecuted Jews.

A #Passover marketing idea dreamt up in 1932 by a coffee corporation and a Jewish advertising executive went on to become one of the most popular and influential haggadahs in America.

LETTERS TO FRED

„Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“

❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!
