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.
In this piece, the compassionate shelter worker (sung by April Crane) calls out to the dogs, "Who's Hungry" while Mattie (Sung by Lisa Boyd) and Snappy (sung by Elizabeth Ackerman) become friends and realize that they may be last friends if they aren't adopted within 4 days. Danielle (sung by Susan Asbjornson) is there to pick out a new dog and Erin (sung by Winnie Hiller) is trying to deter her. ContemporaryOpera.com
