Toronto: Loose Tea Music Theatre presents two operas based on the life of Anne Frank November 2-4
Monday, October 28, 2019
Loose Tea Music Theatre presents the world premiere of Singing Only Softly with Grigory Frid’s The Diary of Anne Frank during Holocaust Education Week.
What version of Anne Frank are you familiar with? Did you know that passages of The Diary of Anne Frank were censored and redacted?
Inspired by the original, unedited texts of the diary, Loose Tea Music Theater created Singing Only Softly. This Chamber opera voices Anne Frank as a fully formed young woman describing her experiences while discovering herself. Freshly interpreted in a current female context, it explores Anne's complex self awareness and self representation.
Anne Frank is portrayed by Sara Schabas and Gillian Grossman with Music Director Cheryl Duvall
