Just wanted to update anyone who was following along with Odin, the one-eyed dog who charmed us all during our run of SYLVIA. He found his forever home!

🐾❤️ Happy Tails! ❤️🐾

Odin, our lovable 4.5-year-old Shepherd mix, was adopted today! This sweet boy had a way of making himself known wherever he went - from his adorable ‘awoo’ greeting to his social personality, he quickly became a favorite in any room he entered. 🥰

Odin has brought so much personality and joy to his time with us, and we couldn’t be happier to see this wonderful boy heading to his new home. Wishing you the very best life, Odin! 🐶

Amidst programs featuring Bach, Mozart, Stravinsky, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Dvořák, and other well known names - don’t overlook Jake Heggie.

Heggie is one of the leading American composers of . Known for music that combines emotional immediacy, memorable vocal writing, and powerful storytelling, Heggie is an important voice. In 2025, he was inducted into the OPERA America Hall of Fame and named Musical America’s Composer of the Year. His opera "Dead Man Walking" has been performed more times than any other contemporary American opera.

FOR TWO NIGHTS ONLY: On August 16 and 17, Staunton Music Festival will present the first work in that trilogy, Heggie's "For A Look Or A Touch." This 45-minute one-act chamber opera gives voice to gay men who share stories they once believed they would never be able to tell. Their testimonies are by turns surprising, heartbreaking, funny, painful, and shocking, offering an intimate and deeply human perspective on experiences that too often remain untold.

Performance directed by Timothy Nelson; featuring Rob McGinness, Doug Schneider. Venue: Silver Line Theatre Exchange, in Staunton, Virginia.
