Tragedy on the Sea Nymph: An operetta for dogs, starring dogs

Every dog has its day as the saying goes. This is particularly true on Thursday, July 21st, when Machine Project presents Tragedy on the Sea Nymph, an operetta in three acts starring an all-dog cast in Walker Open Field. All canines are welcome!

Written and Directed by Elizabeth Cline, Tragedy on the Sea Nymph is a 10 minute silent film starring  dogs who perform the romance and tragedy of clandestine lovers shipwrecked at sea. The film will be accompanied by five opera singers and the Cedar String Quartet. Dog lovers, share this trailer with all your friends. And mark your calendar now so you and your dog aren’t left standing in the dog park when you could be at the opera.
