Based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's novel of the same name, and with a libretto by Nahma Sandrow, 'Enemies' tells the story of Herman Broder, a Polish Jewish survivor of Nazi persecution, living in New York in 1948. It is both a farcical, romantic comedy of a man juggling three women, and a dark story chronicling the legacy of the Holocaust. Singer's novel was made into a successful feature film in 1989, directed by Paul Mazursky. 'Enemies' premiered at Palm Beach Opera in 2015 and will be seen at Kentucky Opera in November 2018.
