Haunted is a one-act dance opera with music by Paul Salerni and libretto by former California Poet Laureate Dana Gioia, based on Gioia's narrative poem of the same name. The work recounts a passionate but doomed love affair wrapped in a ghost story, scored for baritone, three dancers, violin, piano, and percussion. The production is conducted by Salerni and features Rod Gilfrey on baritone, Aron Kallay on piano, Shalini Vijayan on violin, Nick Terry on percussion, and dancers Dawson Walker, Avery Zerr, and Ayesha Orange, with choreography by Jamila Glass. The opera was originally premiered at Lehigh University in 2019.
