The romantic ballads are reserved for the secondary character of Tuptim (Mandy Leung with a lovely trilling voice), who was sent as a “gift” to the King from the ruler of Burma, and her secret lover Lun Tha (an earnest Brian Palac), in a subplot that can’t possibly end well. Anita Colotto is a strong and sympathetic presence as the King’s head wife, Lady Thiang, who quietly works to hold everything together. Alec Zhang is a stoic and poised Chulalongkorn, the heir to the throne. If a few of the minor roles are a little limp, it scarcely matters.

Produced in collaboration with the award-winning San Francisco Choral Artists, and featuring conservatory-trained Yiddish-steeped vocalists Heather Klein and Anthony Russell, “Lilith” premieres May 1 at the Osher Marin JCC, May 3 at Berkeley’s JCC East Bay and May 4 at Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center. Though long an obscure character in Jewish mythology, Lilith was recast in the 1970s as a feminist foremother who resisted the rise of patriarchy. The name Lilith is mentioned once in the Bible (Isaiah 35:14) and appears in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but the story of Adam’s first wife who sought equality and refused to lie beneath him first emerged more than a thousand years ago in a strange and contested Aramaic and Hebrew text called the “Alpha Bet of Ben Sirach.”.
