About this event
San Diego Opera Presents: Susannah takes place at San Diego Civic Theatre on February 12, 13, and 14, 2027.
- All ages
Eighteen-year-old Susannah Polk lives with her brother Sam in the woods outside a Tennessee mountain town. When local churchmen spot her bathing in an isolated creek, she becomes the target of gossip, accusations, and worse. Carlisle Floyd transplants the biblical "Susannah and the Elders" to the Appalachian backwoods in this modern classic: a riveting tale of sex, corruption, and hypocrisy with a folk-inspired score and the beloved aria "Ain't it a pretty night?" Floyd's centenary is the perfect time to experience the opera Gramophone calls "an important work within modern American opera" and Opera Today dubs the "operatic equivalent of Arthur Miller's The Crucible."
About Susannah
Susannah is an opera in two acts by the American composer Carlisle Floyd, who wrote the libretto and music while a member of the piano faculty at Florida State University. Floyd adapted the story from the Apocryphal tale of Susannah and the Elders, though the story as adapted in the opera has a more positive ending. The story focuses on 18-year-old Susannah Polk, an innocent girl who is targeted as a sinner in the small mountain town of New Hope Valley, in the Southern American state of Tennessee.
