What happens when Joyce DiDonato, “perhaps the most potent female singer of her generation” (The New Yorker), teams up with genre-crossing Time for Three, “chamber musicians who turn a concert into a show” (Pittsburgh-Post Gazette) for a bespoke musical work exploring Emily Dickinson’s inner world? “I could see from the start [Emily: No Prisoner Be] wasn’t going to be your grandmother’s Emily Dickinson song cycle,” says composer Kevin Puts, whose work The Hours has won the hearts of opera fans. Synthesizing heart-stirring music, evocative video projections, and incomparable poetry, this theatrical concert celebrates the singular genius of Dickinson’s unrestrained creativity and complex emotions, using a selection of 24 of her poems with theatrical elements.
