Itamar Meets a Rabbit is a contemporary opera based on Grossman’s short story of the same title. The opera premiered at the Auditorium Mann in Tel Aviv in 2009 and was immediately hailed by the media as the most outstanding musical piece for children. The funny story for kids, however, is also a profound reflection on difficult neighbour relations and differences. The eponymous character finds out that, although he and rabbit come from different worlds, they essentially do not differ at all. Adults find here a clear reference to the strained social relations prevailing in Israel.
