“Blind Injustice,” a collaboration between the Ohio Innocence Project at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, Cincinnati Opera and the Young Professionals Choral Collective, is featured in the fall 2019 issue of Opera America Magazine. The production, which debuted this summer at Cincinnati Music Hall, features the true stories of six exonerees freed by the work of the OIP.
