The Tender Land
Laurie's Aria, Love Duet
Laurie's Aria, Love Duet
The Promise of Living
Inspired by photographs in James Agee and Walker Evans’ timeless account of Depression-era America,
Copland and librettist Horace Everett fashioned a drama centered around a farm girl on the verge of womanhood. On the eve of her graduation from high school, Laurie Moss is faced with life-defining choices regarding love, family ties, and independence. The theme of outsiders—groundlessly accused of wrongdoing—invading the peaceful world of rural America mirrors certain contemporaneous social concerns
