Rufus and Rita

Rufus and Rita is an adorable, light-hearted opera about a girl and her zany dog, commissioned by Reimagining Opera for Kids for in-school performances. The libretto features several forks in the road where the audience votes on what should happen next. The opera is scored for four singers of any voice range, plus a flexible chamber ensemble of piano with any two treble instruments and one bass instrument. C and B-flat transpositions are included for all three instrumental parts.
