Minnesota Opera commissioned the work and produced its premiere in 2013 at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. Conducted by Christopher Franklin and directed by Kevin Newbury, the cast featured Christine Brewer as Sister Aloysius (soprano), Adriana Zabala as Sister James (mezzo-soprano), Matthew Worth as Father Flynn (baritone), Denyce Graves as Mrs. Miller (mezzo-soprano), and Julius Andrews as Donald Miller.
