Susannah is Carlisle Floyd's seminal opera set in the hills of Tennessee, following a young woman whose life is shattered after she is seen bathing in a creek by church elders. The score blends revival hymns and Appalachian folksong with a libretto written in colorful regional dialect. The production is directed by Patricia Racette, with Angel Blue making her role debut as Susannah, Rod Gilfry as the Reverend Blitch, and tenors Bille Bruley and Aaron Blake as Sam and Little Bat. James Gaffigan conducts in his first engagement as HGO's Music Director Designate.
