A Lovers' Knot is an opera in one act about tangled loves, witty disguise, and a garden at the center of a dramatic narrative.
In a Virginia town in the 1870s, two pairs of young lovers must work through memory, pride, and the force of a past act of courage. A beloved man’s memory, a sisterly bond, and a clever ruse collide as jealousy, devotion, and family ties test what each character will risk for love. The setting shifts between intimate domestic scenes and a lively garden stage, where music and emotion drive the action.
