'The Tender Land'

Pastoral opera by Aaron Copland

'The Tender Land'

Set against the backdrop of a Midwestern farm in the 1930s, this coming-of-age tale follows a young woman as she prepares for graduation day. On the cusp of adulthood, will Laurie choose a path defined by the expectations of family, or will she indulge her heart’s desire to seek “all those roads beyond that line above the earth and ’neath the sky?”   

Aaron Copland’s pastoral opera The Tender Land comes to life under the stars and under the baton of Dan Geeting, with direction by Heidi Valencia Vas. Settle in for an evening that will lift the soul and evoke “the promise of living.” 

Admission is free but tickets are required.
