Dean Burry

Description

ST. JOHN'S, NL - A new opera based on the Vinland sagas will tour Newfoundland this spring. The composer, Dean Burry, was commissioned by Memorial University of Newfoundland's Opera Roadshow. The opera, The Vinland Traveller, is to be staged in schools and performed by students. It will travel approximately 16,000 km throughout Newfoundland and Labrador , including a stop at L'Anse aux Meadows. Dean Burry says the subject is a natural fit. "There's become, I think, a kind of kinship between Iceland and Newfoundland," he says.
