DESCRIPTION:Opera@Augustana&nbsp\;and the Augustana Chamber Orchestra will present "Odysseys on Land and Sea\," a program of three British musical offerings of the early 20th century.\n\nPerformances are at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17\, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18.\n\nThe performance opens with Gerald Finzi's "A Severn Rhapsody\," an orchestral fantasy inspired by a poem of Rupert Brooke\, expressing a longing for home while living abroad.&nbsp\;\n\nNext will be a theatrical presentation of Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Songs of Travel\," a selection of poems from Robert Louis Stevenson's collection of the same name\, in which the poet's cherished relationship with home is fraught with an equally strong wanderlust.&nbsp\;\n\nThe final performance will be Vaughan Williams' opera "Riders to the Sea\," from the Irish playwright J.M. Synge's tragic play about the perils and poignancies of living by the sea. &nbsp\;\n\nIt was first performed in 1904 by the Irish National Theater Society in Dublin.\n\n"Riders to the Sea"&nbsp\; is based on a tale Synge heard in the Aran Islands. It won critical acclaim as one of dramatic literature’s greatest one-act plays. The play centers on&nbsp\;an old woman who has lost to the sea all the male members of her family except the last of her six sons.\n
