Synopsis

The opera chronicles the coming-of-age journey of Hannah, a transgender woman, as she discovers her gender identity and learns to accept herself. Her story unfolds in 15 songs across two parts, moving from the isolation and unease of her youth in a small town to the complexity of her college years, and eventually to a place of peace and self-acceptance after traveling to a new country alone
