Zionist House of America, Tel Aviv

Ziv Rubinstein hosts two renowned opera singers –

Ella Vasilievsky and Ilona Toibis, stars of the Israeli Opera –

for a morning of first encounters with Italian opera.

What is opera, anyway?

How did it all begin?

And how do you listen to opera?

Accompanied by international pianist Polina Riskin,

we’ll explore some of the most famous arias,

hear all the fascinating background,

and, as always, enjoy a presentation and magical moments

of discovery and wonder in the world of opera.

Artistic Director: Anna Segal
