Dead Man Walking  is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking operas of recent decades, exploring questions of faith, redemption and justice. Based on the memoir of the same name by Sister Helen Prejean, it tells the true story of a nun’s journey as a spiritual advisor to a convicted murderer on death row in Louisiana's hardline state penitentiary.
