Tender Land Post for # 4

Dear Readers,

On the eve of our opening night I would like to provide you with some photos, and a video.

The making of the Tender Land has been a unique process, which teemed with highs and lows. I would be insincere if I said that every moment was a dream. I would be equally dishonest if I didn't expressly admit that this experience is one for which I am tremendously grateful.

A big cheers and TOI TOI TOI to the Michigan Opera Theatre Studio: Angela Theis, Brent Michael Smith, Raehann Byrce-Davis, Gordon Schermer and our guest baritone Harry C Greenleaf. In bocca al lupo a tutti! Shout out to the brilliant, and sardonic Kristine Macintyre, Maestro Suzanne Acton, and the designer Monika Essen.

We [Michigan Opera Theatre + The MOT Studio] open Aaron Coplan's The Tender Land tomorrow night. Details below:

Joseph Michael Brent, who sings the role of "Martin," discusses his character's star-crossed relationship with "Laurie" in Aaron Copland's The Tender Land. Interview with rehearsal clips.
