He continues to write content for their publications.
In 2019, Nick translated the libretto and designed the supertitles for Daniel Catán’s Il Postino, a co-production between Virginia Opera, Opera Southwest, and Chicago Opera Theatre. These titles were also seen at Opera Santa Barbara. Nick also designed and operated the titles for Virginia Opera’s 2019 production of Tosca (Puccini/Illica & Giacosa).
At FSU he served as production dramaturg for A New Brain (William Finn/James Lapine), A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (Peter Nichols), and a devised piece based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
