Houston Grand Opera: Susannah

October 23 at 7pm

At Brown Theater

Theater District, Houston

"every note, every sigh, is perceived with moving clarity"
Bring a layer, the AC is famously powerful
Sung in English with projected text, easy to follow

Small-town hypocrisy meets Appalachian soul. Carlisle Floyd's all-American opera follows Susannah, shunned by her Tennessee church community, with revival hymns, folk melodies, and star soprano Angel Blue in a bold new staging.
