Susannah

Orange
County Performing Arts Center,
Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, 600 Town Center
Drive, Costa Mesa, CA / Susannah ~ A first
for Opera Pacific! An all-American folk opera of raw emotional
power, Susannah is set in rural, Depression-era Tennessee.
Based on the Apochryphal story of Susannah and the Elders, it
is a poignant story of a girl’s life and dreams shattered
by bigotry, zealotry and the abuse of power. The heartland-vibrant
sets and costumes recall the muscular Americana of Thomas Hart
Benton’s paintings. Floyd's 1955 opera – filled with
music based on folk songs and dances and revival tunes –
has become a standard of the operatic repertoire. Buy
