ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Opera del West presents a comic one-act opera called Pepito. This is a new work in English by up and coming composer Nicolas Lell Benavides and librettist Marella Martin Koch about a dog looking for his forever home. Camila and David, young married professionals, are searching for the perfect dog. As Camila and Pepito form an unshakeable bond, Angie the manager of the shelter, asks the couple if they are sure they are ready for this.

As we celebrate all of our Covid pets we will round out this program with art songs about animals by composers Emmanuel Chabrier, Ernest Chausson, Dan Shore, Rachel Portman and Juliana Hall.
