With an operatic score influenced by folk, blues, and gospel by Mark Olivieri, this folk opera reveals and celebrates the life story of an American original and folk music legend.

When her devoted community comes together to honor her legacy, a poignant afterlife journey of song, drama, and dreams leads Libba back to her roots, family, first guitar, and the spiritual connection between her music and childhood home. A cast of seven transcend time and musical styles to retrace the story of how a little left-handed girl from North Carolina became one of the most original and revered folk musicians and songwriters of her time.
