Regarded as a quintessentially American opera, “The Tender Land” tells the beautiful coming of age story of Laurie Moss, on the cusp of her high school graduation. Over the course of three short acts, the opera explores the complicated and sometimes heartbreaking ideas of personal identity, love and familial obligation during the Great Depression in rural America. Will Laurie stay to continue her family’s legacy or will she risk everything by leaving to find her own place in the world?
