Child Auditions
Cleveland Opera is seeking young ladies around the age of 11 years for 
its upcoming production of
Come to Me in Dreams.  (This is a non-paid supernumerary 
role.)                                                       

Other requirements of the role are:

*Have brown hair (medium to long.)

*Able to cry loudly (as if awakened by a nightmare)     

  Audition Date:

  May 1, 2004, beginning at 10:00am

    Contact Jill Cullinan at

216.575.0903 ext. 235 to schedule an audition.

Performance Dates are June 9 - 13, 2004 with rehearsals beginning June 4th.

Come to Me in Dreams tells of a man who survived the horrors of World 
War II, his recollections of his wife and a daughter who died at the 
hands of the Nazis, and his surviving daughter, to whom he finally 
reveals his story.  In a moving and uplifting conclusion, he comes to 
terms with the past and can look again to the future.

Come to Me in Dreams is a World Premiere by Amercian composer Lori 
Laitman.  Lori Laitman has written some of the most moving and beautiful 
art songs composed by an American composer, with a number of them 
related to the Holocaust.  These have inspired Cleveland Opera's 
Founding Director, David Bamberger, to select a number of her pieces to 
create the scenario for a compelling stage work.  The songs being used 
include selections from "I Never Saw Another Butterfly", Ms. Laitman's 
setting of some of the surviving poems written by children at the 
Terezin deportation camp before they were sent to Auschwitz.
