ADRIFT, a new opera based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson, March 2023

ADRIFT, a new opera based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson, March 18, 19, 2023 at the BCA Plaza Black Box, Boston, MA

A first-of-its-kind staged choral opera, ADRIFT tells a love story through the words of queer New Englander Emily Dickinson. Featuring entirely new musical settings by Nightingale resident composers, and under the direction of Angela Yam, this hour-long theatrical experience brings to life a carefully curated selection from Dickinson’s nearly 2,000 poems. The members of Nightingale Vocal Ensemble will use all of their compositional, vocal, and dramatic capabilities to celebrate—and expand—the unique capacity for an ensemble to tell a story.
Here's a link to Nightingale's official event page: https://www.nightingalevocalensemble.com/adrift.html

Performances are March 18th at 8pm and March 19th at 3pm, Boston Center for the Arts.
