Memphis, 1892.  Western State Mental Hospital

Alice Mitchell has done something horrible, they tell her. Something sinful. It’s why she was sent here. As she struggles to remember her story, the other women locked away with her join their voices to that of Freda, the young woman Alice loved. But why can’t anybody else see her?

The world premiere of this new opera by Memphis composer Robert Patterson and librettist Jerre Dye was made possible by Jeanie Mercer and Breen Bland.
