Alice Tierney

Step into a mystery where past and present collide and identity is up for debate as the Vanderbilt Opera Theatre presents Alice Tierney, a one-act opera by Melissa Dunphy.

As four modern-day archaeology students excavate the site of a 19th-century brothel, they uncover not just artifacts but competing ideas of the woman who once lived there and died under mysterious circumstances. Featuring a genre-blending score of opera, musical theatre, and pop, Alice Tierney invites you to question how stories are told, who gets to tell them, and how we shape the past through the lens of the present.

Friday and Saturday, October 3-4, 2025, 7:30 p.m., Ingram Hall
