Joyce DiDonato and Time for Three: Emily — No Prisoner Be

DACAMERA’s gala Opening Night brings reigning international opera diva Joyce DiDonato back to Houston in the genre-defying production, Emily — No Prisoner Be. Created in collaboration with the uniquely virtuosic Time for Three string trio and an award-winning design team, this re-imagining of the poetry and life of Emily Dickinson has thrilled audiences from Europe to Carnegie Hall. A strikingly original take on a centuries-old musical form, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts (Silent Night) notes, “this is not your grandmother’s song cycle.”Composed for the astonishing talents of these Grammy-, Emmy- and Olivier Award-winning artists, this music-theater tour-de-force hauntingly brings to life the fierce individuality of one of America’s greatest poets. Marking DiDonato’s first DACAMERA appearance, the one-night only Houston premiere is not to be missed.
