Louisville Orchestra brings Holocaust-era opera to stage
SUMMARY: “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” will be performed this Saturday at the Kentucky Center, highlighting a poignant connection to Louisville through Charles Bristol, a long-time violinist with the Louisville Orchestra. Bristol fondly remembers his mentor Paul Kling, who taught with a cooperative approach rather than competition. Kling, a Holocaust survivor from the Czech Republic, was interned at Terezin, where he was rehearsing for the opera’s premiere before the Nazis halted it. He later escaped from Auschwitz. This performance not only showcases the opera but also honors Kling’s influence on Bristol’s 49-year violin career. Tickets are available online.
