Members of the Great Neck North High School Choir attended a final dress rehearsal of “Dear Erich,” a jazz opera that will be performed as a world premier at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Manhattan.
This opera was composed by Great Neck South High School graduate Ted Rosenthal and presented by South High graduate Michael Capasso, the general director of the New York City Opera.
“Dear Erich” tells a refugee story inspired by 200 newly discovered letters written in Germany between 1938 and 1941 by Herta Rosenthal to her son Erich, the composer’s father.
