Eva and the Angel of Death
Presented by Density512
Description
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, Density512 regrets to announce that we must postpone the world premiere of Eva and the Angel of Death (April 18th and 19th). We remain committed to presenting this premiere on our 2020-2021 Season. In the meantime, we will reassess the remainder of our 2019-2020 Season and plans for our 2020 Summer Series. We appreciate your understanding in these challenging times.
A new opera by Austin-based composer Thomas Yee and librettist Aiden Feltkamp, Eva and the Angel of Death portrays the true story of Eva Mozes Kor, a child survivor of the Holocaust and Josef Mengele’s medical experiments. Fifty years after her liberation, Kor returned to Auschwitz to announce her message of forgiveness, peace, hope, and healing. After Kor’s passing on an educational tour to Poland in 2019, we will continue her legacy through this communal artistic experience. In Kor’s own words from her 1995 Declaration of Amnesty, “NO MORE WARS, NO MORE EXPERIMENTS WITHOUT INFORMED CONSENT, NO MORE GAS CHAMBERS, NO MORE BOMBS, NO MORE HATRED, NO MORE KILLING, NO MORE AUSCHWITZES”
