Bodhi Tree Concerts presents world premiere of a bilingual Spanish/English chamber opera, "Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote," by Pulitzer Prize-winning, GRAMMY-nominated, Opera Hall of Fame and Metropolitan Opera composer, San Diego’s own Anthony Davis, with a libretto by playwright and UCSD professor Allan Havis and Spanish text by Laura Fuentes. "Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote" is based on the children’s book of the same name by award-winning Mexican-American author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh. An allegorical tale, "Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote" brings to light the hardship and struggles facing families who seek to make better lives for themselves by crossing the border. A young rabbit named Pancho, whose Papá travels north to find work and to earn money for his family, finds himself on a long journey. When Papá does not return as expected, young Pancho sets out on an adventure to find him. Pancho experiences many trials and dangers on his journey, but the story ends happily with a celebration when both finally return home. Bodhi Tree Concerts on Instagram
