"As One forces you to think, simultaneously challenging preconceptions and inspiring empathy." —The New York Times

A story about identity, authenticity and compassion. Two voices—Hannah before and Hannah after—share the part of a sole transgender protagonist.

As One is a chamber opera in which two voices—Hannah after (mezzo-soprano) and Hannah before (baritone)—share the part of a sole transgender protagonist. Fifteen songs comprise the three-part narrative; with empathy and humor, they trace Hannah’s experiences from her youth in a small town to her college years—and finally traveling alone to a different country, where she realizes some truths about herself.
