Image for Ludington to host North Country Opera screening is a scene from Jay Stielstra's opera. The setting is the fictional Buckhorn Bar in northern Michigan with a wooden bar with a Budweiser sign over it, a few wooden stools in front of it, a table with a red and white checked tablecloth and three cast members. All are singing with their hands in the air. One customer, a woman wearing a sweater over her flowered dress is seated at a barstool and in one of her hands raised over her head is a beer can. The other customer with one raised hand is wearing a white shirt and a tie beneath a black business suit coat and slacks. He is standing and his shirttail is hanging out over the front of one pant leg. The third person in the bar is the bartender. There is a fourth person with raised arms but that person cannot be seen readily behind the woman seated at the bar.
