Opera 'Susannah' in O.C.

In a post-twelve-tonal world, accessibility is the new avant-garde. This weekend Opera Pacific dusts off the Lyric Opera of Chicago's production of "Susannah," by Carlisle Floyd, one of the more conservative American composers of the 20th century whose works are easy on the ears. Set in rural Tennessee, "Susannah" whispers in a Southern accent a kinder, gentler social commentary that "goes after self-righteous hypocrites, but doesn't go after religion," says artistic director John DeMain. Pictured, from left: Erin Wood, Elizabeth Grohowski, Josepha Gayer and Shira Renee Thomas. 2 p.m. Sun., 7:30 p.m. May 22 and 24. $27-$191.
