About the event

Decoding Intelligence: The Real Life Spy Network Behind the Opera
Join renowned historians Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Dr. Stephanie Richmond, and Timothy Orr for a compelling look at the true Civil War-era events that inspired the opera Intelligence. The conversation, moderated by Virginia Opera’s Artistic Director Adam Turner, uncovers the remarkable spy networks, acts of resistance, and courageous individuals — such as Elizabeth Van Lee and Mary Jane Bowser — whose real stories shaped this groundbreaking work.
