The Israeli Opera Will Perform MOTHERS Next Month

The Israeli Opera is set to stage a powerful new opera, Mothers by David Sebba, at the Performing Arts Center in Tel Aviv on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 13:00. This production, a collaboration with the Gesher Theatre, offers a contemporary retelling of biblical narratives through the voices of the women of Genesis.
