Those of you who are fascinated by new opera and those of you interested in the American labor movement will find common ground in the Rockland, a new opera by Jussi Tapola and Jukka Linkola. It’s based on an incident in Michigan’s history: in 1906, a group of striking Finnish-American copper miners were confronted by sheriff’s deputies, and two of the workers were killed. 

The piece will be webcast on Opera Music Broadcast at 3:00 PM EDT Sunday, and La Casa della Cieca will be open for real-time discussion.
