“Fowl Play”
(Libretto in Hebrew and English, for the opera with the same title, with music by Raymond Goldstein, inspired on a short story by Bernard Malamud.)
This is the startling story of a Jewish bird, who seeks refuge in the home of a Jewish family. Not really intending to, he influences their daily rutine, provoking unvoluntary confrontations which endanger his life. This seems to be a comedy, but then again it might not necessarily be so.
