In 1924, Austrian director Hugo Bettauer released a satirical film imagining a Vienna purged of its Jewish population, a darkly comic warning drawn from the rhetoric of Austria's rising nationalist politicians. One year later, Bettauer was assassinated by a Nazi gunman who was subsequently acquitted and celebrated. The film was banned in 1933 and nearly lost to history until a pristine print was discovered at a Paris flea market in 2015. Parlando presents a live screening with orchestra of the newly restored Die Stadt ohne Juden with Olga Neuwirth's 2018 score, a visceral, urgent work that transforms a century-old cautionary tale into an ominously contemporary one. Help us make the arts more accessible to all by choosing the $35 suggested donation, or whatever price that you are able to pay. Service and facility fees have been waived. All guests aged 2 and up will need their own ticket to join us for the performance.
