Susannah April 28, 2007

Susannah is an American opera set to the sounds of traditional folk ballads, hymns, and square dances. The opera tells the tale of a lovely and naïve young girl who ignites passions in a mountain parish in Appalachia. Accused and condemned of sinfulness by the townsfolk, Susannah's only defender is the itinerant preacher Olin Blitch. Torn between his mission and his inner demons, Blitch ultimately betrays Susannah's trust and innocence. Tickets begin at $29. Call 520.293.4336 for more information.
