The Three Tenors ruined everything. As much as they popularized opera, they bogarted the spotlight for men. But there\u2019s a reason the term \u201cprima donna\u201d is in the mainstream lexicon and \u201cprimo uomo\u201d is not. <\/p>\n

The local all-female Helena Collective are reclaiming the focus through not just their singing but their feminist perspective. <\/p>\n

This concert \u2014 titled The Tender: From Eve\u2019s Footsteps \u2014 is a hard reset on the story of the biblical OG woman, told through the female gaze via songs, poetry and narration. Expect to be both enchanted and enlightened. <\/p>\n

7 p.m. Sunday, March 22, Timucua Arts, $30.<\/p>\n
