New Opera Reading: Nigel, the loneliest bird in the world

Leakin Hall 214, Peabody Conservatory, 1 E Mt Vernon Pl, Baltimore, MD

A workshop-style reading of the libretto for a new opera by Joshua Scheid, with a brief Q&A to follow. Nigel, the loneliest bird in the world is a surrealist tragicomedy about an intrepid gannet who falls in love with a concrete dummy--a story of love, transcendence and gayvian fantasy.

Starring: Matt Grifka as Concrete Bird CJ Hartung as Nigel Madilyn Crossland as the Scientist
