Miranda
ABOUT
Miranda
LIBRETTO BY KAMALA SANKARAM AND ROB REESE. Miranda is a 60-minute steampunk murder-mystery chamber opera in which the instrumentalists play, sing, and act all the parts, reenacting the last day of Miranda's life. Each character in Miranda’s world is represented by a different musical genre: Baroque, Hindustani, Tango, and Hip-Hop. You, the Jury, solve this musical mystery by choosing exhibits and finally by convicting Miranda’s killer.

““Miranda” is strikingly original, mainly because its principal vocal lines, which Ms. Sankaram sings in the title role, are inventively shaped, full of character and emotionally direct and authentic.”
–Allan Kozinn, The New York Times
