Tickets For 'Cold Sassy Tree' Performance On Sale
Commerce area residents can
get a live glimpse of The Atlanta
Opera without leaving their home
town and for a bargain basement
price.
Four members of the opera will
perform excerpts from the opera,
“Cold Sassy Tree,” from the novel
by the same name that was set in
Commerce.
The 55-minute program will be
held at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, Jan.
8, at the Commerce Cultural
Center on State Street. Tickets
will cost $20 and are available
at the Downtown Development
Authority (DDA) office on South
Elm Street. Call 706-335-2954.
The Commerce visit is the result
of a grant The Atlanta Opera
received to produce the operatic
version of Olive Ann Burns’ novel
to do community outreach.
“How better to do community
outreach with ‘Cold Sassy Tree’
than to go to Cold Sassy itself and
perform in Commerce,” notes
Hasco Craver, executive director
of the DDA, who manages the
cultural center.
“Cold Sassy Tree” is set in the
town of “Cold Sassy,” which
is based on Commerce, and
there are frequent references to
Commerce and other area com
munities. The book relates the
events surrounding the marriage
of “Grampa Rucker Blakeslee” in
1906 to the young, attractive milli
ner Love Simpson just weeks after
the death of his long-time wife as
seen through the eyes of 14-year-
old Will Tweedy The general store
once located in the original part
of what is now the Commerce
Civic Center, provided the basis
for Grampa Blakeslee’s store.
The Atlanta Opera will perform
“Cold Sassy Tree” at the Cobb
Energy Center Feb. 2, 5, 8 and 10.
Ticket prices range from $27.50 to
$133.50 via Ticketmaster.
