This capstone thesis discusses the applicability of Carlisle Floyd's 1955 opera, Susannah, as an allegory for the socio-political climate of the United States in the 1950s. In order to do so, a musical analysis of the opera's score was then performed for its use of folk song conventions and verismo operatic conventions. The libretto was analyzed for the use of social conventions of Southern Appalachia. Characters actions and musical content were then judged on whether (1) their actions were in line with the social conventions of traditional Appalachian culture and (2) if their musical content used/reflected conventions of traditional Appalachian folk music. Research on the socio-political culture of the United States during the 1950s and comparisons between the opera and the time period were then drawn and expanded upon. If a character's actions and musical content was consistent with Appalachian folk tradition, they were grouped with other characters who had similar musical and cultural traits. If a character's actions and musical content was not consistent with the local cultural norms, both musically and culturally, they were placed in a separate group. The division between character in terms of social acceptability was used as the basis for the allegory between Susannah and the socio-political climate of 1950s United States. By creating a group that is considered to be the "outsiders," it allowed the fear of the unknown that was prevalent in the socio-political culture of the 1950s that led to the rise of McCarthyism and the accusatory culture political culture of the time. As a whole, the opera provides a critique about the negative impacts of hyper-conservative social culture and the xenophobia that resulted from McCarthyism on American culture during the 1950s.

Actors know about "falling up": a split-second ignition from the wings, propelling entrance as a new character, an unwilled ascent to a different mode of being, an in-body experience that overlays preparation, opportunity, choice, or chance. Falling Up, the first and only full-length Floyd study, is a metaphor for humanity’s uncanny ability to rise from seeming disaster into rebirth. Floyd’s consistent succession of soars, stumbles, slides, or wrenches sings of triumph over odds. A modern Renaissance man, Floyd is our greatest living opera composer and librettist, a trained concert pianist, a master stage director, and a teacher. In Falling Up, Holliday offers an intimate account of the life that shaped the words and music. Combining insights from hundreds of interviews with Floyd, his family, and many of the last half-century’s greatest singers, conductors, and opera administrators, Falling Up traces Floyd’s Southern roots and the struggles and sacrifices that accompanied his rise to operatic stardom. With more than forty photographs, the detailed evolution of Floyd’s fourteen operas, and in-depth analysis of his nonoperatic works, Falling Up is essential reading for opera fans and professionals alike, a book that moves, informs, and entertains.
