Blind Injustice is an opera based on the stories of six people who were wrongfully convicted of crimes in Ohio, and who eventually had their convictions overturned through the work of the Ohio Innocence Project.[1][2] The opera was commissioned by the Cincinnati Opera; it was written by librettist David Cote and composer Scott Davenport Richards.[3] The libretto was based in part on the book Blind Injustice by Ohio Innocence Project co-founder Mark Godsey, and on interviews with those whose stories are portrayed.[1][4] The opera opened at Cincinnati Opera on July 22, 2019.[5]
