DePaul Opera Theatre presents: Scott Gendel's Everlasting Faint

The DePaul Opera Theatre presents Scott Gendel's Everlasting Faint. The opera tells the story of a young woman has died of unknown natural causes – or so the doctor declares. Her ghost returns and tells her mother that her husband murdered her. Shaken and resolute, her mother embarks on a journey to find out the truth and deliver justice for her daughter. Based on the true story of the 1897 Greenbrier Ghost, Everlasting Faint is a ghost story, a maternal love story, a true crime drama, and an all-American opera. The opera premiered in February 2026 with the Madison Opera.
