Robocopera

Ever wonder what Robocop would be like adapted into a fully realized grand opera, in which every male role were sung by one (very pregnant) soprano? Then this performance of Robocopera is for you!

When

Sunday, May 31 | 7:30 PM

Where

Dickson's Farmstand Meats, 75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011

After a sold-out workshop debut at PIT SOLOCOM '26 and recent oversold concert at the National Opera Center's Scorca Hall in March, Nikki Muller is bringing her new one-woman parody opera, Robocopera, to Dickson's Farmstand Meats for a special one-night performance on Sunday, May 31.

Plucking scenes from the 1987 action movie and translating them into German, French, and Italian lyrics for arias in a variety of operatic styles, librettist comedian, soprano, and expectant mother Nikki Muller presents a satirical love letter to both opera and Verhoeven's film. Interspersed by metacommentary videos that offer a crash course in opera history and Robocop lore, the show features virtuosic music and accompaniment from renowned composer/conductor/pianist Brian Holman, plus live cue card subtitles, puppetry, and-- of course-- a dream ballet featuring Jason Rosario as ED-209. It's a campy, madcap, gender-bending fever dream of high-meets-low brow comedy that will delight seasoned opera fans, fan boys, and everyone in between... except maybe Timothée Chalamet.
