Defending Her Choices: Audio Samples from a prototype version

These audio samples come from earlier versions of the opera. Character names, story, scene structures, and dialogue have all changed in Standing Her Ground. Only a few audio samples from the earlier versions remain relevant. Samples accompanied by orchestra are excerpts from the premiere of the opera’s first version by Doña Ana Lyric Opera (a university/community company) in Las Cruces in 2001.
