O Pioneers! - UNL Opera

UNL Opera presents Tyler Goodrich White’s O Pioneers! based on Willa Cather’s 1913 novel—her first masterpiece and one of the most compelling tales of the Great Plains.  Presented in connection with the 2023 Cather Sesquicentennial, the production features student and alumni singers of UNL Opera, the UNL Chamber Singers, and the 70-member UNL Symphony Orchestra. Conducted by the composer, with stage direction by William Shomos, O Pioneers! is being produced in partnership with the James C. and Rhonda Seacrest Tour Nebraska Opera Fund, UNL Friends of Opera, and the Hixson-Lied Endowment.
