Faith is a new opera written by composer and librettist Jeremy Smith, following the wife of a preacher in a rural Appalachian church whose faith is tested when her husband tries to remove her from his life for a new lover. The Nashville presentation features live music by Blueprint Ensemble under conductor Daniel Krenz, with members of Nashville in Harmony making up the fictional church's choir.
