Young soprano LEILA SCHÜTZ creates the title-part of ROSE SHOSHANA in the WORLD-PREMIERE of "Rose Shoshanan Kahan - togbukh" at the annual returning Yiddish Summer in Weimar. *Togbukh* by Rose Shoshanan – a Jewish story set in Shanghai. Rose Shoshanan, a celebrated actress, emigrated with her family to Shanghai, the only remaining refuge for Jews; however, she reached it only with her husband, without her three children.... In her new home, she not only built a new life for herself as an actress and trader, but was also a keen and observant chronicler of her ‘new world’. She recorded all her observations and experiences in a diary, from which Dr Diana Matut and Dr Alan Bern have now created a one-woman play. Leila Schütz, not only a singer, but also a studied musicologist ( Sorbonne) and a studied - and often awarded - violinist, will, next to her commitments as a singer, study STAGE DIRECTION in Vienna from Sep. 2026.
