Passage

Presented by the Opera Theater of Yale College and the Yale Undergraduate Chamber Orchestra

by Benjamin Beckman and Adam Haliburton

The Opera Theater of Yale College and the Yale Undergraduate Chamber Orchestra present the world premiere of Passage, a 70-minute chamber opera with libretto by Adam Haliburton (YC ‘09 PhD ‘22) and music by Benjamin Beckman (‘23 [Passage is a senior thesis in music composition]). One man’s life is forever changed when he is forced to kill a soldier he did not want to kill, and encounters the ghost of the soldier years later. Passage deals with themes of war, loss, mortality, and fate.
