A One Of A Kind Rock Opera!

Renowned experimenters Richard Foreman and Michael Gordon's viciously biting satirical opera is coming to New York for the first time, opening for a strictly limited run at Brooklyn Academy of Music next January! Taking devastating aim at the underlying nonsense of societal pressures, this new production of What To Wear is your chance to witness one of the most original pieces of opera of the 21st century.

What Is The Story?

In traditional Richard Foreman style, What To Wear places its focus firmly on feeling and design. Taking place in a world of high beauty, it centers around the mysterious and stylish Madeline X as she journeys through a series of dreamlike settings, growing ever more obsessive about her need to be observed and adored. Taking turns between scathing satirical comedy and transcendent beauty, What To Wear is opera like you've never experienced it before.
