About

Heard here in its world premiere recording, The Parting is a daring opera by award-winning composer Tom Cipullo (b. 1956) and librettist David Mason that explores the life and art of Miklós Radnóti, one of the most important poetic witnesses to the Holocaust, and one of its tragic victims. Radnóti’s poems express emotions from love and enchantment to absolute loss, and The Parting includes texts found in his jacket pocket after his death. This opera is a profound meditation on what it is about art that outlives us, that enables us to be creative even in the face of unimaginable adversity, and reminds us to guard against hatred and to celebrate what makes us human.

Cast:
- Fanni: Laura Strickling (soprano)
- Death: Catherine Cook (mezzo-soprano)
- Miklós: Michael Mayes (baritone)
