The children of the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia performed the opera more than 50 times before most were sent to deaths at Auschwitz. One of the only 142 children that survived until liberation, Ela Weissberger, who as a child played the cat in the camp production, will join in each of the Holmdel performances. The children's opera features the piece "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," based on the collected poems and artwork by some of the 15,000 children imprisoned at Terezin before final deportation. The 1938 opera is the story of two children trying to find milk to succor for the children's sick mother. There is no free milk in town, the children's father is dead, and the children have no money. The children's attempts to raise money are thwarted by the evil organ grinder, Brundibar. The children then unite with the animals and the other children in town, raise money and defeat Brundibar. The local cast includes Rachel Brudner, Kate Daly, Julie Feggeler, Matthew Ferreira, Varun Kambhampati, Viraj Kothari, Alicia Lai, Connie Lee, Noah Rauchwerk, Ally Sarno, Amanda Spohrer, Brandon Steinagle, Alexa Von Essen, Lara Warner, Marin Warner, Emma Weber and Danielle Weinberg, all of Holmdel; Philip Marflak of Matawan; Hannah LaFargue of Middletown; and Briana Valdes of Lincroft.
