The Many Deaths of Laila Starr
MUSIC BY KAMALA SANKARAM
LIBRETTO BY MINITA GANDHI
Reincarnated. Resolute. Revolutionary.
When the goddess of Death is cast down to Earth to live as a mortal named Laila Starr, the boundaries between the divine and the human begin to blur in this vivid, transporting world premiere from Kamala Sankaram and Minita Gandhi. The Many Deaths of Laila Starr was commissioned and developed through Minnesota Opera’s New Works Initiative, adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel by Ram V and Filipe Andrade. Infused with elements of Konnakol, Raga, and EDM, this fantasy on purpose and impermanence unfolds with both kinetic energy and striking clarity, as a god made mortal begins to see the world—and life itself—through fresh eyes.
Sung in English with English captions projected above the stage.
Based upon the BOOM! Studios graphic novel, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr by Ram V. and Filipe Andrade. Adapted through special arrangement with BOOM! Studios. The Many Deaths of Laila Starr is ™ & © 2022 Ram V.
