Credit LineGift to the Playhousefrom the Opera Committee and Seattle Jewish Community Center
The Opera Committee of the Seattle Jewish Center gave this work to the City in 1963. Dybbuk is a Hebrew word meaning disembodied spirit, a spirit of a dead person who invades a living person. In 1920 Polish author Sholom Anski wrote a play called The Dybbuk which was subsequently made into a film and later (in the 1970's) a ballet with music written by Leonard Bernstein.
