The Many Deaths Of Laila Starr

About

The October 12 event presents Minnesota Opera's new opera in a studio-to-stage format rather than as a complete staged performance. The Guggenheim listing describes performance highlights and excerpts interwoven with an illuminating discussion of the work's creation, followed by an artist reception. The opera is commissioned and developed through Minnesota Opera's New Works Initiative. Its central concept places the goddess of Death in a mortal human life, using magical realism to examine the boundary between divine and human experience. The score incorporates Konnakol, Raga, and EDM.
