ADRIFT
BCA Black Box Theatre - 539 Tremont Street
Written by Emily Dickinson
Composed by Nicholas Ford, Nathan Halbur, John Haukoos, Benjamin Perry, and Angela
Yam
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.
