The Tender Land
T1022662249
Aaron Copland's hauntingly beautiful two-act opera is a coming of age tale exploring themes of loneliness, sexual awakening and affinity with the land. As Laurie begins to fall in love, she questions her place in the world and whether it is time to leave the security of home and assert her own being. Just as she makes the decision to chase her own dreams her anticipation of fulfilment turns to despair and her family can only look on as they await her final choice.
