Student performers in the UNL Opera program take to the stage for the "Music and Milestones" event at the Lied Center for Performing Arts on Feb. 15.
The Glenn Korff School of Music’s student-led opera will perform “The Tender Land” in three different cities across the state of Nebraska beginning Feb. 27.
Composed by Aaron Copland, the opera takes place in a Depression-era rural community and depicts the life of a young girl, her family and two migrant workers in a coming-of-age tale that reflects the hardworking spirit of the Midwest.
The production is made possible by a major gift from the James C. and Rhonda Seacrest Tour Nebraska Opera Fund.
