A young woman, growing up during the Great Depression, must make a choice between the love of her life and the freedom to do what she likes. So goes the plot to Aaron Copland's opera The Tender Land, performed by The University of Toledo Opera Ensemble, in a collaborative effort with the UT Symphony Orchestra. Copland wrote the piece, which is set in the Midwest, after being inspired by the tart photography of Walker Evans. Students will perform the second, modified version of the opera, released in 1955.
November 22-24. 7:30pm Friday and Saturday, 3pm Sunday. $10, $8 students. Doermann Theatre in University Hall, University of Toledo, 2801 W Bancroft St. 1-800-586-5336. utoledo.edu
