The Road of Promise: Finding our way forward
Written over several years starting in 1934, Kurt Weill’s immense oratorio, The Road of Promise, was born from the darkness of the world in the 1930’s. Set during the “timeless night of Israel’s persecution,” a congregation seeks shelter in the synagogue, turning to their Rabbi who recounts iconic stories from Jewish scripture. We see the effect these accounts have on two individuals at vastly different points in their life, the 13-year old boy and the Adversary. As we travel through these narratives, we witness and experience a transformation that points their way forward.
