Emily Thebaut, Executive Director of New Opera West, sat down for an interview with The Bark to talk about the process of animating a scene from Pepito.
“Recently, we were introduced to Pepito, an animated dog opera, and found it to be entrancing, touching and inspiring. Since we’re opera fans as well as rescue advocates, it especially hit home with us, so we were curious to find out how it came about. We reached out to the co-founder of the New Opera West company, Emily Thebaut, who gladly shared its origin story with us. We are sure that you will find both the opera and its message of what it means to be “the right dog” resonating with you, too. Bravo!”
