The Cask of Amontillado - a Choral Drama

  • First Parish 14 Bedford Road Lincoln, MA, 01773 United States (map)

with Nightingale Vocal Ensemble

Join us for a captivating and spine-tingling evening at First Parish In Lincoln as five vocalists and narrator bring Edgar Allan Poe's chilling tale to life through mesmerizing choral performances set to the haunting music of Gesualdo in The Cask of Amontillado - a Choral Drama. Most infamous for murdering his wife and her lover (and well known for his dissonant Italian Renaissance polyphonic music), Gesualdo pairs perfectly with the macabre writing for which Poe is most famous. Immerse yourself in the dramatic storytelling and powerful harmonies that will transport you to another world. Don't miss this unique fusion of literature and music.
