The UNH Opera Program will proudly present the quintessential America opera, Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land. There is no composer who devoted himself more to the subject of America than Copland. The Tender Land, his only opera, deeply and beautifully presents those elements that truly define American character; rugged individualism, hard work, family, dreams, brokenness, healing and a landscape broad and beautiful. These are all set against the enduring American theme of “otherness” and prejudice in a Society created by immigrants arriving to a land of new promise. Tickets are FREE!!!!
