Details

Two music dramas are brought together in a startling fusion, exploding the inner lives of two tortured souls. In Dominic 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 fiance 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.
