DVOC presents our first-ever production of Susannah, Carlisle Floyd's Americana masterpiece. Young and innocent Susannah lives with her brother in a small Appalachian town. One fateful day, men from her church spot her bathing in a stream and begin to spread vicious rumors. Gossip circulates, forcing Susannah to make some life-altering decisions. Set to a rich score, this classic American opera offers a powerful indictment of religious and social hypocrisy.
