I am honored and humbled to be spending Holocaust Remembrance Day with my dear friend Jo Herzberg, the daughter of two survivors.
Jo and I are travelling from Detmold to Hagen to share the story of her father Fred, and his family, who were murdered by the Nazis. Last Sunday, we presented “Letters to Fred” for the first time in his hometown of Detmold.#HolocaustGedenktag #HolocaustRemembrance #holocaustMemorialDay #holocaust #HolocaustRemembranceDay #NeverAgain #Shoa #Mazeldon #LettersToFred

“The political climate throughout Western society in 2025 makes us feel the cold of the past as we face the reality that the most admired democracy is sliding into fascism. We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago.”
From a “Letters to Fred” review.

I also get to sing Ottavia & Drusilla (& Virtù) in L’incoronazione di Poppea, which will be my first time singing pre-Baroque music. Letters to Fred will be performed twice for Holocaust Remembrance day at Landestheater Detmold and Theater Hagen, I’m thrilled to be working with these theaters!
I hope that Letters to Fred will continue each year. Thanks to Jo Herzberg for trusting me with her dad’s letters.

Last night, I sang from Letters to Fred by Bracha Bdil. Thanks to Staatstheater Darmstadt for supporting this epic 40 minute song cycle, and for the opportunity to tell Fred’s story. I am thrilled to announce that I will be singing the full work next season at Theater Hagen, thanks to new Intendant Søren Schuhmacher, our former Operndirektor in Darmstadt!

From a “Letters to Fred” review:
“We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago. This work, like all other stories from the Holocaust, should serve as a stark warning to all of us that the horrors will never be a thing of the past unless we keep fighting to keep them there.”

LETTERS TO FRED
„Zwei Liedprogramme an einem Tag spannten einen Bogen von Lebenslust, Poesie und gerechtem Zorn am Vormittag zu trauerndem Andenken am Abend. Zwei Freundinnen erlebten dies gemeinsam, Megan Marie Hart auf den Bühnen, Joanne Herzberg im Publikum.“
❤️ Vielen Dank, lieber Detlef Obens & @opernmagazin!

LETTERS TO FRED: A Portrait of the Herzberg Family During the Holocaust
Song Cycle by Bracha BdilThe terrible brutality of the Holocaust is so incomprehensible in its extent that it can only be understood on the basis of individual fates. This song cycle quotes from letters to the only survivor of the #Herzberg family from #Detmold.

I’m back in Detmold with my friend Jo Herzberg! Jo came to Darmstadt for the world premiere of Bracha Bdil’s song cycle Letters to Fred last Sunday, and we had the chance to spend the last days together — but it’s never enough, so my mom & I joined her on her trip back! We are having a great time together, and it just feels right to keep celebrating this very emotional work after it premiered!

„Für mich ist es ein Ziel, die Erinnerung an den Holocaust durch Musik aufrechtzuerhalten“ […] „Das fand ja alles gleichzeitig statt,“ sagt [Bracha Bdil]: „Die Leute sind in die Oper gegangen, während um sie herum schon das Töten begonnen hatte.“
[…]
„Ich muss versuchen, mich zusammenzureißen“, sagt [Megan Marie Hart], „um nicht in Tränen auszubrechen.“Vielen, vielen Dank an Thomas Wolff & Darmstädter Echo!

Happy and exhausted, two recitals in two cities on the same day – done!
It was very moving. (No pun intended, but not lost on me either.)

We are currently in the middle of rehearsals with composer Bracha Bdil. I just wanted to quickly share this picture my husband took of Giacomo and I in my dressing room yesterday after our Letters to Fred rehearsal on the big stage.
