The Perfect Challah (2026)
This mini-opera, perhaps inspired by true events, is a musical setting of a Friday afternoon where Misha is nervously preparing challah for dinner while roommate Lior provides little emotional support. It was premiered by Little Songbook Opera for La Bonne Cuisine, a food-themed concert that took place at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Middleboro, MA.
Premiered by Abbey Engelmann (Misha), Riuji Sato (Lior), and Anna Jean Simmons (Ima), with accordion accompaniment by the composer
