CINDY LOU! is a warm, sweet, and funny new opera which introduces opera to the audience with a message about animal rescue. Danielle (sung by Susan Asbjornson), lives alone in a gorgeous house in the relaxed and playful Los Angeles suburb, Hermosa Beach. She works as an entertainment lawyer, constantly surrounded by handsome single movie stars like George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, and Benicio Del Toro, and is passionate only about her work - until a very sweet little Pug dog named Cindy Lou (sung by Lauren Furman) catches her attention on a visit to a local shelter.
This piece begins Act II. Jake, the shelter worker (sung by Chuck Di Maria) is opening up the shelter when he slips and falls and then dreams that he sees a beautiful feline playing the tuba (Randi Fett).
