“An enthralling work.”

— The New York Times

A staged concert experience that blends the music of Kevin Puts with the poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Emily–No Prisoner Be unites Emily Dickinson’s poetry with Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts’ luminous 24-part song cycle, created for Metropolitan Opera star Joyce DiDonato and GRAMMY® Award-winning ensemble Time For Three. Brimming with energy and passion, Dickinson’s poetry and Puts’ music feel as if they have always belonged together.

The stage and lighting design by Andrew Staples envelop the audience in a timeless, ethereal world—strikingly simple yet deeply evocative. His design draws us further into Dickinson’s mind with subtle shifts of light and shadow, allowing the poetry and music to resonate.

Don’t miss the San Diego première of this acclaimed piece from Austria’s Bregenzer Festspiele.

The performance contains theatrical haze and strobe lights.
