I received this message today:


Geoffrey Penar, Son of Paul and Dorothea Penar of Narrows Drive, [Joe's Pond, West Danville],  will be performing in the Vermont Opera, A Fleeting Animal:  An Opera from Judevine, with music composed by Erik Nielsen and libretto by Wolcott poet David Budbill. The opera has passion, humor, and tragedy. With its earthy characters and libretto and music inspired by French Canadian fiddle tunes, the blues, jazz, and other contemporary styles, A Fleeting Animal appeals to a broad audience.
A Fleeting Animal will be presented at six locations (including Barre and Hardwick) in Vermont over two weekends, Sept. 11-13 & Sept. 18-20.  Tickets for all performances may be purchased at the Barre Opera House, www.barreoperahouse.org. For more information, go to www.afleetinganimal.com.

Geoffrey has an impressive list of accomplishments in his operatic career, and many of you are familiar with the work of David Budbill.  This promises to be an entertaining performance.
