A spokesperson says---
"...Shared through a genre-blending score infused with revival hymns and Appalachian folksong—and a libretto, also by Floyd, written in colorful regional dialect—Susannah is set in the hills of Tennessee. It follows the story of title character Susannah, a young woman who is seen bathing in a creek by church elders, leading to cruel gossip, judgment, and the tragic shattering of her innocence..."
