2024 Film screening: “North Country Opera”
About the Show
The 40th anniversary production of North Country Opera returns to the Cheboygan Opera House on Sunday, October 20, 3:00pm as a limited film release. The film screening will be preceded by a short panel discussion with some of the original cast and producers. This iconic Michigan folk musical was filmed before a live audience at the Ark Theater in Ann Arbor in 2022.
North Country Opera is a musical play by renowned Michigan playwright and song writer, Jay Stielstra. Set in the Buckhorn Bar in northern Michigan, it is the north country’s own version of a timeless love story: a young man falls in love with the beauty of the northern woods and rivers – and the woman he meets there. After leaving for the big city to pursue bigger and better things, he realizes how much he misses the two loves he left behind.
The play is a loving tribute to the people and culture of northern Michigan: fishing for trout in the cold rivers, hunting for birds in the autumn woods, snowmobiling in the winter. And of course, the comradery and wit of local characters found in a favorite tavern.
Tickets are $15.
