New Atlanta Opera production 'Forsyth County is Flooding' is a dark comedy about Georgia history

The one act opera, titled "Forsyth County is Flooding (with the Joy of Lake Lanier)," is billed as a dark comedy.  The production reflects on an environmental and spiritual retribution around two events in Georgia history: The forced exile of black residents from Forsyth County in 1912, and the decades-later creation of Lake Lanier, a manmade recreational lake in reservoir that covers a large part of North Georgia, including a town at the center of the events in 1912 known as Oscarville.
