Hometown to the World is set in 2008, in the aftermath of (at the time) the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid of North America’s biggest kosher meat processing plant, in Iowa. The small agrarian town of Postville had been brought back to economic viability by the influx of a group of Hasidic Jews, from the Lubavitcher sect, who moved from Brooklyn to Iowa, where hogs outnumber people five to one. One Lubavitcher family took over the failing slaughterhouse and brought it back to life in the community of primarily Lutheran farmers of Scandinavian descent. Postville’s prosperity attracted workers from around the world. They emigrated mostly from Central America, especially Guatemala, but also hailed from Eastern Europe, East Africa, Israel, and even Palau. A vast number of these workers were hired even though they were known to be undocumented. Many came in desperation, to escape poverty, violence and repressive regimes, seeking a new life in the U.S.. During its renaissance, Postville evolved into a model of multiculturalism, summarized perhaps most accurately by the sign on the edge of town that reads: “Hometown to the World.” The ICE raid in May 2008 resulted in the deportation of approximately a quarter of the town’s population, which led to another quarter of the citizens fleeing. Families were destroyed, the meatpacking plant was forced to close, and Postville’s ability to function was decimated.
With this history of Postville — a microcosm of America’s great immigrant experiment in multiculturalism — as the backdrop, Hometown to the World tells the story of how the worlds of three characters from the community’s main ethnic/religious/linguistic groups collide in the wake of a brutal ICE raid. The result is a complex tale that ends with a message of hope and equity. Today, as the many issues surrounding immigration, citizenship, economic viability, and cultural cohesion are at the center of national discourse, Hometown to the World is a critical piece of contemporary opera that seeks to create greater awareness, thoughtful dialogue, and impactful response.
2 | @TownHallNYC BACKGROUND
The first scene, “Tempest-tossed,” offers a fragment from Emma Lazarus’ poem, “The New Colossus,” accompanied by video projections depicting the 2008 ICE raid of Postville, Iowa. In “Ag Days,” Linda Larsen, the county commissioner frantically organizes the details for Postville’s annual Agricultural Days parade and celebration, “the biggest two days of the year.” Scene three, “Su Casa,” finds Abraham Fleischman, shunned by his family for being gay, seeking refuge in the home of Linda Morales, who is wary but welcomes him, keeping her promise to open her home to strangers. In “Wide World Web,” Fleischman explores his new room, which belonged to Morales’ deported son of a similar age, and sings of the amazing world he discovered the first time he saw the internet, forbidden in his cloistered Hasidic household. Larsen welcomes community members to a meeting of the “Postville Response Coalition,” but fear and xenophobia overtake the restive crowd, which screams that Postville is in a “state of emergency.” Walking home together in “Anklet, Ringlet,” Morales and Fleischman bond with each other despite their cultural differences because they are both “outsiders” in Postville. In “Cans of Corn,” Morales visits the food bank at St. Bridget’s Church and receives canned goods from Larsen, who is volunteering for a shift; Morales questions Larsen about her motivation and encourages her to use her political power wisely, then Fleischman joins them and they sing about seeing the world through the eyes of others. The disparate circumstances of Morales and Fleischman stoke underlying tensions in the community and between them; they argue with each other in “Blood,” ending with each hurling at the other the insult “you are the illegals!” In “Carne Barata,” Morales, her heart breaking, sings an aria in despair: “look where we are. They make us fight.” She comes to a moment of strength with the recognition that “America is impossible without us.” Through her reasoned plea, she and Fleischman overcome their fear-based animosities and arrive at a place of hope. “World-wide Welcome” offers another expansive choral refrain from “The New Colossus,” and a caution: “the more borders we create, the lesser our world will be.” Inspired, Morales and Fleischman seek to “Repair the World,” as the two take sanctuary in their respective religious traditions. Larsen joins them and the three come together in a shared prayer, Tikkun Olam, based on the Hebrew language and ethics at the root of each of their faiths.

Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts
Michael Fram, Principal
Keeshon Morrow, Assistant Principal
Kayann Dell, Assistant Principal
Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts is a small high school which offers a full academic program and comprehensive theatre arts classes. It is a program designed for students who aspire to work in the theatre arts field either as actors or behind the scenes. It is our belief that students benefit from a holistic theatre training program and that is why students do not have specific arts “majors” at Repertory. Instead, they are immersed in a curriculum that exposes them to all the theatrical disciplines (acting, music, dance, design and technical theatre) in an effort to create well-rounded theatre artists. In addition to arts education, students also complete a rigorous academic course load leading many of our students to graduate with advanced regents diploma with a Chancellor’s Arts Endorsement.
The Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts
Yeou-Jey Vasconcelos, Principal
Benjamin Schott, Assistant Principal of Music
In 1936, New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia established the High School of Music & Art (M&A). Mayor LaGuardia’s vision was to provide a place where NYC’s most gifted public school students could pursue their talents in art or music while completing a full academic program. In 1948, the School of Performing Arts (PA) was established. PA provided performance training for those preparing for professional careers in dance, drama, or music. In 1961, the two schools became one organization.
In 1984, Music & Art and Performing Arts began the school year in their new facility at Lincoln Center. This marked the opening of The Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. We are a tribute to our two legacy schools. New York City currently has nine specialized high schools. LaGuardia Arts remains the sole specialized school for the arts. We were also the first in the nation to provide a free, publicly funded high school dedicated to the arts. Our model has been replicated in other urban school districts throughout the country and the world. Over the years, the school has earned an international reputation for excellence. Our alumni are creative thinkers, confident collaborators, culturally-engaged innovators, and open-minded citizens, and distinguish themselves in virtually every field of endeavor, including the arts and sciences as well as public service.
The Santa Fe Opera: Opera for All Voices
Initially created by a consortium of seven opera companies led by the Santa Fe Opera, Opera for All Voices: Stories of Our Time (OFAV) commissions and produces new American operatic works that are flexible in scope and scale, with the potential to be performed in a variety of spaces, while striving for rich storytelling, artistic integrity and social impact. OFAV is committed to representing a diversity of voices through its stories, creators, artists and audiences.

HOMETOWN TO THE WORLD DONORS
Hometown to the World presented by The Town Hall in association with Santa Fe Opera
was made possible in part with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund
Founded in 1940 by the grandsons of John D. Rockefeller, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) is a philanthropic foundation with a mission to advance social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. Its grantmaking is organized into seven programs seven grantmaking programs. Three thematic programs—Democratic Practice, Sustainable Development, and Peacebuilding address the interrelated challenges of democratic decline, climate change, and violent conflict. The Culpeper Arts & Culture program supports arts organizations and artists in the New York City region that shape understanding of these critical concerns and the human experience. Pivotal Place programs in China, Central America, and the Western Balkans focus on one or more RBF themes in a specific geographic context that we believe has disproportionate significance for the future of the surrounding regions, an ecosystem, or the world.
The production of Hometown to the World, was made possible with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The opinions and views of the authors do not necessarily state or reflect those of the Fund.
