The Three Tenors ruined everything. As much as they popularized opera, they bogarted the spotlight for men. But there’s a reason the term “prima donna” is in the mainstream lexicon and “primo uomo” is not.

This concert — titled The Tender: From Eve’s Footsteps — 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.
7 p.m. Sunday, March 22, Timucua Arts, $30.
