SUMMARY:Adapting Wharton: The Operatic Reimagining of Roman Fever\, hosted by New York City's Grace Church
DESCRIPTION:In a landmark collaboration\, The Mount and Grace Church (New York City) will celebrate the life and legacy of Edith Wharton in the very place of her baptism on Easter Day in 1862. The special evening features selections from an exhilarating new operatic adaptation of Wharton’s iconic short story\, Roman Fever\, composed by Louis Karchin with a libretto by Joan Ross Sorkin. \nTransforming Wharton’s razor-sharp drama of friendship\, jealousy\, and betrayal into powerful operatic theater\, the work brings the story’s simmering tensions and dark secrets vividly to life. The event offers audiences a rare behind-the-scenes experience\, blending performance highlights with an intimate conversation moderated by Natalie Johnsonius Neubert\, President and CEO of Berkshire Opera Festival\, about the creative process of adapting literature for the stage. \nSoprano Kerrigan Bigelow will perform the role of Grace Ansley\, alongside soprano Sofia Scattarreggia as Alida Slade\, with pianist Luke Poeppel providing musical direction. The evening invites audiences to encounter Wharton’s enduring voice anew—through music\, song\, and conversation—in the city where her story began. \n\nLOCATION: \nGrace Church\n802 Broadway\nNew York\, NY 10003 \nTICKETS: \nThis event is FREE and open to the public!\nPlease REGISTER using this link. \n\nThe music of Louis Karchin (b. 1951\, Philadelphia) has been heard throughout the world and has garnered praise for its “fearless eloquence” (The New Yorker)\, “bare-nerve intensity” (NY Times)\, and “coruscating beauty” (San Francisco Chronicle).

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT | Among the Primeval Shadows: Exploring the Strange Magic of Edith Wharton’s Ghost Stories with Robert Oakes
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Halloween for a ghostly talk and tour of The Mount with author Robert Oakes! \nAfter reading her first ghost story\, Edith Wharton was plunged into “a world haunted by formless horrors\,” and felt that a “dark undefinable menace forever dogging [her] steps\, lurking and threatening.” Some mysterious magic contained in this particular kind of tale\, when mingled with Wharton’s own “intense Celtic sense of the supernatural\,” seemed to produce such a fearful effect on the young author that\, for years after reading her first ghostly tale\, she “could not sleep in the room with a book containing a ghost story” and “had to burn books of this kind\, because it frightened [her] to know that they were downstairs in the library!”  \nAnd yet\, amazingly\, Wharton went on to write ghost stories of her own. Indeed\, she became a master of the form\, taking her place among the great ghost story writers who inspired her\, like Sheridan Le Fanu\, Marion Crawford\, and Fitz-James O’Brien. As Wharton wrote her ghostly tales\, she thought about what made these stories work\, how it was that they could affect us so deeply as to send “a cold shiver down one’s spine…” \nThough we know it’s just a story\, right? \nJoin Robert Oakes\, author of Ghosts of the Berkshires and long-time ghost tour guide at The Mount\, as he explores Wharton’s ideas on ghosts and ghost stories and shares excerpts from her tales that reveal some of their mysterious magic. Following the talk in The Mount’s Drawing Room\, we’ll bring the tales to life as we explore the Main House by flashlight and hear reports of hauntings at the estate. Wharton invited her readers to meet her “halfway among the primeval shadows.” In this program\, we’ll look into the darkness and see what we may see! \n \nRobert Oakes writes books about ghosts\, leads tours in haunted places\, and sings soulful original songs. He has written three books\, The Ghostly Tales of the Berkshires (2023)\, Ghosts of Northwestern New Jersey (2022)\, and Ghosts of the Berkshires (2020)\, all published by Arcadia Publishing. He has also released numerous recordings\, both as a solo artist and as part of the folk duo Oakes and Smith. Since 2010\, Robert has led immersive ghost storytelling experiences at historic locations in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts\, including Ventfort Hall\, Edith Wharton’s The Mount\, and Herman Melville’s Arrowhead. He has also given talks and readings for both children and adults at many libraries\, schools\, and cultural centers. Robert has appeared on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters\, Jeff Belanger’s New England Legends series on PBS\, and The Apple Seed show on BYUradio and has been featured in The Boston Globe\, The Berkshire Eagle\, and numerous other media outlets. Robert earned his master’s degree from the Middlebury Bread Loaf School of English and has taught elementary\, middle\, and high school English\, as well as adult writing workshops. \n“You’ll never look at the region the same way after chatting with Robert Oakes.”\n— Diane Bair\, The Boston Globe \n“Robert Oakes is an incredible speaker and tells … stories so elegantly you feel like you’ve stepped back in time!”\n—Drew Babineau\, paranormal investigator \n  \n\nJOIN THE WAITLIST: \n[maxbutton id=”1″ url=”https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/edithwharton/items/666434/?full-items=yes&flow=1365690″ text=”Join Here!” ] \nSaturday\, October 18\, 7:00 – 9:00 pm\n$40 \n  \n\n\nThis two-hour program consists of a seated presentation in The Mount’s Drawing Room\, followed by a fully-accessible ghost tour of the Main House.

SUMMARY:A Cultivated Friendship: A Staged Reading with playwrights John Dennis Anderson and Karen Vuranch

Even so\, the two expatriates formed an intimate bond that transcended differences. Both loved gardening\, travel\, writing\, and renovating historic homes—fodder for years of correspondence that playwrights John Dennis Anderson and Karen Vuranch have adapted into A Cultivated Friendship\, a play interweaving truth and fiction based on Wharton and Bromfield’s distinctive rapport.  \nRead A Friendship Made in Gardens on The Mount Blog about Edith Wharton and Louis Bromfield’s relationship in letters!\n\nJohn Dennis Anderson\, a native Texan living on Cape Cod\, is a performance studies scholar and Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Communication Studies at Emerson College\, where he taught for 27 years.

SUMMARY:The Amy Clampitt Fund presents Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Join us to experience the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Phillips\, who will read from his latest poetry collection\, Scattered Snows\, to the North (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2024)\, a collection about distortion and revelation\, about knowing and the unreliability of a knowing that’s based on human memory.  \nThis reading is presented by the Amy Clampitt Fund\, a Fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation\, that seeks to advance poetry and the literary arts. Poet Ama Codjoe will provide an introduction.  \n\nCarl Phillips’s latest book of poems is Scattered Snows\, to the North (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux\, 2024). His Then the War: And Selected Poems 2007-2020 (Farrar\, Straus & Giroux\, 2022) won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize. Other honors include the Jackson Poetry Prize\, the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award\, the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the Aiken Taylor Award for Modern American Poetry\, and awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Academy of American Poets\, the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the Library of Congress. Phillips has also written three prose books\, most recently My Trade Is Mystery: Seven Meditations from a Life in Writing (Yale University Press\, 2022). He lives on Cape Cod\, in Massachusetts.  \nPhoto: Reston Allen\nAmy Clampitt\, born in New Providence\, Iowa\, emerged as one of America’s most celebrated poets later in life\, following careers in publishing and environmental work. Educated at Grinnell College\, Columbia University\, and the New School\, she turned seriously to poetry in the 1960s\, achieving widespread acclaim with the publication of The Kingfisher in 1983. Her richly textured\, allusion-laden verse—praised for its baroque vocabulary\, intricate syntax\, and sensuous imagery—drew comparisons to literary giants like Emily Dickinson\, Wallace Stevens\, and Marianne Moore. Critics highlighted her virtuoso command of language and her ability to weave metaphor with musicality and wit. Clampitt’s notable collections include What the Light Was Like (1985)\, Archaic Figure (1987)\, and A Silence Opens (1994). A recipient of prestigious fellowships and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, she also taught at institutions such as Amherst and Smith Colleges. She died in Lenox\, Massachusetts\, in 1994\, leaving behind a body of work both intellectually dazzling and emotionally resonant. \n\nTickets to this event are free\, registration is required! \n[maxbutton id=”1″ url=”https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/edithwharton/items/629486/availability/1745632209/book/?full-items=yes&flow=1365690″ text=”REGISTER HERE” ] \n  \nInterested in becoming a Mount Member?
