Doubt is an American opera in two acts by Douglas J. Cuomo to a libretto by John Patrick Shanley. It is an adaptation of Shanley's Pulitzer-Prize-winning 2004 play of the same title, which had been made into an Oscar-nominated 2008 film. 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.
“All doubt is cowardice — all trust is brave.”
“To have doubted one's own first principles is the mark of a civilized man.”
“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
“The doubtful beam long nods from side to side.”
“Those who do not doubt do not believe. Faith is maintained by resolving doubts, and again resolving those further doubts which are suggested by the resolution of previous doubts.”
“People, when asked if they are Christians, give some of the strangest answers you ever heard. Some will say if you ask them: "Well — well — well, I, — I hope I am." Suppose a man should ask me if I am an American. Would I say: "Well, I — well, I — I hope I am?"”
