First Coast Opera – The Tenderland

Event Details

First Coast Opera concludes their season with Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land on February 27 and 28 in a site-specific production at Ancient City Farmstead. Rather than a traditional theatre setting, the farm’s picturesque landscape becomes part of the storytelling, echoing the opera’s rural setting.
​
Featuring Copland’s soaring score and a heartfelt story of family, dreams, and new beginnings, this unique collaboration offers a rare opportunity to experience opera in a fresh and unforgettable way.​​​

Step outside the theatre and experience opera in a whole new way with our site-specific production of Aaron Copland’s The Tender Land. We’ll transform Ancient City Farmstead into the perfect setting for this heartfelt American story of family, hope, and new beginnings.

Director: Helena Binder
