Itamar Meets a Rabbit is a children’s opera by two prominent Israeli artists, author David Grossman and musician Yoni Rechter based on Grossman’s beloved children book. The opera tells the story of a boy named Itamar who thinks rabbits are dangerous, and a rabbit who is terrified of children. Fortunately, they meet, and before they know it, they become friends. The opera raises subjects as fear of the unknown, and overcoming it, and it promotes messages of co-existence and dialogue, openness and reconciliation—all with witty text and great music.
