 \nBRUNDIBAR\, an opera by Hans Krasa \n\nBrundibar is an opera which was c
 omposed in 1938 and was later smuggled into the Terezin transition ghetto\
 , or concentration camp. The opera was first performed in the ghetto and w
 as subsequently shown there a total of 55 times within the time span of tw
 o and half years. It would be put on traditionally to welcome the Red Cros
 s visits to the camp in order to impress them that the Jews were being tre
 ated humanely in the camps. Ironically not only were the conditions in tha
 t camp terrible behind the make shift scenes\, but in retrospect all child
 ren performers including the opera librettist and composer ended up being 
 sent to Auschwitz. Only four of the many children from the cast survived t
 he war\, many of them were repeatedly replaced\, as their young fellow cas
 t members were being sent 'east'. Here is a link with more information abo
 ut the origin of the opera and its production days in Terezin.\n\nhttp://h
 olocaustmusic.ort.org/places/theresienstadt/brundibar/ \n\nWe were plannin
 g for the original performance dates to mark the international Holocaust M
 emorial Day. Our cast and directors were originally asked to present the o
 pera at the Dallas and Fort Worth Holocaust museum in April 2011 but this 
 plan fell through due to budgetary reasons. In light of that we decided to
  to hold the opera performance in a local venue at the date as close as po
 ssible to the Holocaust Memorial Day we could secure.\n\nOPERA CAST: \nMim
