Cast Creative Edit

Adapted from Sylvia Regan’s 1940 play, Morning Star follows the Feldermans, a family of Russian Jewish immigrants in New York City, during the early twentieth century. Their struggles epitomize the immigrant experience as they encounter the tragedy of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, World War I, the Great Depression, and the labor movement. Through their journey, the opera addresses with humor and humanity such issues as political ideology, race, religion, and identity.

Soprano Twyla Robinson will star in the world premiere as matriarch Becky Felderman. Morgan Smith will bring his “richly textured baritone” (The Wall Street Journal) to the role of Aaron Greenspan, Becky’s lodger and sometimes suitor. The interactions of Becky’s three daughters, sung by Elizabeth Pojanowski, Jennifer Zetlan, and Elizabeth Zharoff, create major tensions in the story. Harry Engel, the focus of sisterly rivalry, is played by Andrew Lovato.
