A coming-of-age tale of Rural America

conducted by Philip Kuttner
directed by Elkhanah Pulitzer.
featuring Metropolitan Opera artist Malin Fritz
and introducing soprano my Foote is Laurie

Inspired by photographs in James Agee and Walker Evans’ timeless account of Depression-era America, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, 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
