Opera in 2 acts, on a libretto by Susan Yankowitz, after the 1921 novel by Colette. The Actors Studio workshop production, May 6-9, 2005. The story reflects a love affair cast as a bittersweet meditation on that moment when all persons "of a certain age" realize they have crossed the invisible meridian that separates their youth from what is left of their lives.
Cheri was a finalist for the 2006 American Academy of Arts and Letters Richard Rodgers Award in Musical Theater and has been performed by both opera and Broadway singers in workshops at the Composers Chamber Theater, American Opera Projects and the Center for Contemporary Opera, and further developed and produced by The Actors Studio (Mark Shapiro, conductor), directed by Tony-Award winning actress, Carlin Glynn.
