This vibrant new opera is a coming of age story set on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in 1943. The plot turns on the romance of two young lovers, Hallelujah Jernigan and Robert Patterson Lee. Hallie and Robert take the first steps towards sexual awakening as religion, guilt, magic, and voodoo intermingle to illuminate the intricate tapestry of the southern experience, both black and white.
