A Fleeting Animal Opera and Art Show

There are two art shows in conjunction with this opera.  My photo, Chris's Sugarhouse, is in the Chandler Center for the Arts gallery and will be on display until September 27th.


A Fleeting Animal
An Opera from Judevine is a collaborative work by two Vermont artists, composer Erik Nielsen and poet David Budbill.  Budbill’s libretto tells a tragic love story that touches on rural poverty, racism, and PTSD.
A Fleeting Animal is uniquely of Vermont, yet its passion, humor, and tragedy are both timeless and universal. Join us in meeting Tommy, a Vietnam vet struggling with PTSD, and Grace, a single mother living in poverty in a fictional Vermont village (Judevine).
Nielsen’s score draws from diverse contemporary styles, including jazz, blues, and French-Canadian fiddle tunes.   Opera Dates
