ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
12 Poems Of Emily Dickinson by Copland (staged song cycle)
Miss Havisham’s Wedding Night by Argento (Monodrama – starts@29.00)Two music dramas are brought together in a startling fusion, exploding the inner lives of two tortured souls.
In Dominick Argento’s Miss Havisham’s Wedding Night, Charles Dickens‘ anti-heroine obsessively reenacts the events of her wedding day fifty years ago, when she was jilted by her fiancé and vowed vengeance against the male sex.
Then Aaron Copland‘s song-cycle Twelve Poems by Emily Dickinson reveals the hidden world of the isolated yet expressive poet.
Soprano Sarah Minns embodies both women in an evocative production which reveals the depths of their passions.
