Ghost Light (2019)
Music: Nicolas Lell Benavides
Words: Kelley Rourke
Joanna Latini, soprano

Performed at The Glimmerglass Festival, August 2019
In the silver glow of the ghost light
I can make out the shades of the stories of old
Now the slats are swabbed clean
The costumes are airing
The drama suspended, the actors at rest
Tomorrow we’ll retrace our steps
Every gesture rehearsed
Each intention set
And yet
And yet
In the silver glow of the ghost light
A new story waits to be told
