Delta David Gier Headshot; Photo of the 1951 opera Giants in the Earth.

Published 100 years ago, Ole Rolvaag’s novel Giants in the Earth was the quintessential American immigrant story. Douglas Moore’s operatic setting won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1951 but has remained largely unknown and never recorded.

On March 11, join us for a program that surveys the rediscovery of this important American opera, including excerpts from the opera sung by the two protagonists. The presentation is led by South Dakota Symphony Orchestra music director Delta David Gier, veteran stage directors Jay Lessenger and Bob Neu.
