Dog Days
Newspeak, Alan Pierson
Release Date: April 25, 2025
David T. Little and Royce Vavrek’s Dog Days is a haunting, post-apocalyptic tale of survival that redefines modern opera. This groundbreaking American classic proves “beyond any doubt that opera has both a relevant present and a bright future” (The New York Times). Praised as “stunning in its ferocity” (Alex Ross), Dog Days is out now on Bright Shiny Things—more powerful and timely than ever.
