A story of love and determination The setting is the 1930's in the Midwestern United States, at the time of the spring harvest and a high school graduation. Aaron Copland's hauntingly beautiful opera is a coming of age tale exploring themes of loneliness, sexual awakening and affinity with the land.Cast Esther Biddle, Eleanor Blythman, Dominic Brewer, Amy Castledine, Amie Clapson, Natasha Dobie, Anthony Flaum, Graham Lawder-Stone, David O'Mahony and Damian Robinson
