About the opera

The intimate male relationships of Abraham Lincoln have been under the scholar’s microscope 

for decades with many proposing the idea that these relationships went beyond basic friendships. 

World premiering in October 2022, Quarry Theatre’s original chamber opera, Yours Forever, 

Lincoln, aims to spark discussions around the history of sexuality, American revisionist history, 

and the importance of LGBTQAI+ visibility. 

A compilation of original text, historical first-person accounts, letters and poetry by Lincoln, and 

poetry by Walt Whitman and Lord Byron, Yours Forever, Lincoln, explores the beauty of ambiguity, sexuality as a spectrum, and the men who helped shape one of the most iconic leaders in American history.  

"Lincoln has a mythological status in American culture and the realization that even an icon’s 

history can be erased inspired me to tell this story,” says Patrick Alexander, composer and 

co-librettist for the new opera, Yours Forever, Lincoln. “I hope other LGBTQAI+ people, upon 

experiencing this opera, will also feel seen." 

Yours Forever, Lincoln will premiere at The Voxel in Baltimore, October 2022. The Voxel, an 

ADA accessible theatre space, is located on 9 W 25th Street, Baltimore, MD, 21218.

Gabriel will perform with Parker Ramsay and seven other vocalists from the Spoleto Festival USA in the American premiere of Nico Muhly’s The Street.

US PREMIERE

Music by Nico Muhly
Text by Alice Goodman
Parker Ramsay, harp
Marcus Amaker, narrator
Members of the Spoleto Festival USA Chorus

Buttressed by eight voices from the Spoleto Festival USA Chorus, harpist Parker Ramsay’s “nuanced, insightful playing” (BBC Music Magazine) reverberates through the sanctuary of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church. With a score by Nico Muhly, The Street reveals the brutality of a man’s wrongful condemnation and suffering. Text by librettist and reverend Alice Goodman punctuates this meditative work, a contemplation of the everyday violence in our world.
