Jake Heggie鈥檚 opera written in 2000 to a libretto by Terence McNally, is based on Sister Helen Prejean鈥檚 best-selling memoir about her work with condemned prisoners on death row, which was made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Susan Sarandon.

The opera centres on the powerful relationship that developed between a convicted murderer awaiting execution and the nun who fights for clemency.

Joyce DiDonato heads a magnificent cast in this emotional and dramatic work, which put Heggie on the map as a major force in modern opera.
