Biography

Rebecca Miller Kratzer

R. Lee Kratzer (she/her) is a New York-based director who makes work that sits at the intersection of opera, music, dance, and theatre. She works across and through mediums in opera, ancient, classical, and early modern theatre, new writing, dance theatre, and musical theatre to develop new work, dismantle notions of genre, and interrogate the canon. She stages pieces that weren’t meant to be staged, such as oratorios or chamber music, and combines voices that we might not think to pair together. Working with the elements of time and space, we can recognize and rectify— through beauty, wonder, humor, and horror—wrongs that have been done or histories that have been warped and make our imaginations legible for audiences.

She’s directed at the City Lyric Opera, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Opera Saratoga, Opera del West, The Tank, Longy School of Music, Theatre Row, Rutgers University, Montclair State, Emerson Stage, Fordham University, The Footlight Club, and Columbia University. Rebecca formerly served as the Artistic Director of the NEMPAC Opera Project in Boston, where she directed La Cenerentola, Don Giovanni, and Fidelio. Rebecca has also worked with Katie Mitchell, Dave Malloy, Isaac Oliver, Whitney White, Annie-B Parson, Hermès, The New York Times, Big Dance Theatre, BAM, and The Bushwick Starr.
