Creation of the World, or Kabbalat ShabbatA world is born through sound.On October 10 and 11, 2026, New York audiences are invited to experience the U.S. premiere of Creation of the World, or Kabbalat Shabbat -&nbsp;a visually striking chamber opera in Hebrew by composer Alexander Manotskov, directed by Emiliia Kivelevich.Inspired by the biblical story of the six days of Creation and the arrival of Shabbat, the opera unfolds as an immersive journey from darkness and silence toward music, light, and celebration. Six musicians perform on cello, harmonium, bansuri, flugelhorn, mridangam, and santur, bringing Western, Indian, and Persian musical traditions into a singular contemporary sound.As the world gradually takes shape, a table is set for Shabbat. Music, movement, sculptural costumes, light, and ritual-inspired imagery come together in a poetic celebration of creation - and an invitation to gather in a time of division.Created in Germany and previously presented in Essen, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Munich, this extraordinary production now arrives in New York for two performances only. October 10&ndash;11, 2026 The 1986 Studio &middot; Brooklyn, New York Performed in Hebrew with English subtitles.
