This unforgettable performance comes to Toronto for one night only after sold out stops in New York, Kigali, Lviv, Sydney, London, Berlin, and many more.
How do two people at the extremes of good and evil find solace in the same aria? East West Street: A Song of Good & Evil, based on the award-winning book by human rights lawyer Philippe Sands, blends the glorious voice of Metropolitan Opera star Laurent Naouri, the music of Bach, Rachmaninoff, Leonard Cohen and more performed by pianist Guillaume de Chassy, with spellbinding narration by Sands and the French soprano Natalie Dessay.
Reflecting on the theme of global justice, East West Street explores issues of morality, art, and humanity against the backdrop of three men whose lives intertwined during the Nuremberg trials. Featuring a special guest appearance by cantor Gideon Zelermeyer of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal.
