The opera tells the story of Luis Garz\u00f3n, a Mexican musician who immigrated to Minneapolis in 1886 and opened a small Mexican grocery store, or tienda, in St. Paul in the 1920s. While Luis had married an American woman and was fully integrated into Minnesotan society, his store served as a community hub for the newest arrivals from Mexico, many of whom had fled the Mexican Revolution and now toiled on the sugar beet farms of rural Minnesota. \u201cTienda\u201d explores the immigrant experience: what must be left behind\u2014and what cannot be forgotten\u2014on the journey to a new home.<\/p>\n<p>Support for this chamber opera is due in large part to the generosity of regent Diane Jacobson.
