Why do Cajuns who have left Acadiana almost always return home later in life? The Return, a chamber opera written by Shane Courville, explores this question through Longfellow's poem Evangeline, his own life story told through dance, and the struggle to integrate his own Cajun culture with his artistic interests as shown through the combination of Cajun music and minimalist classical music. Leave your ideas of what opera is at home and open up to this contemplative experience.
