Nikki Muller to Present ROBOCOPERA One-Woman Parody Opera at The Green Room 42
Nikki Muller stars alongside composer Brian Holman and Jason Rosario in the satirical production.
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 special performance of Robocopera is for you!
After a sold-out workshop debut at PIT SOLOCOM '26 and oversold concert at the National Opera Center's Scorca Hall this March, Nikki Muller is bringing her new one-woman parody opera, Robocopera, back for a one-night performance on Saturday May 9-- poetically timing this Mother's Day weekend show during her third trimester of pregnancy.
Translating scenes from the 1987 action movie into German, French, and Italian lyrics, Muller presents a satirical love letter to both opera and Verhoeven's film. Interspersed by metacommentary that offer a crash course in opera history and Robocop lore, the show features virtuosic accompaniment from its composer Brian Holman, plus live cue card subtitles, puppetry, and-- of course-- a dream ballet featuring Jason Rosario as ED-209. It's a madcap, gender-bending fever dream of high-meets-lowbrow that will delight seasoned opera fans, fanboys, and everyone in between... except maybe Timothée Chalamet.
The show will take place on Saturday, May 9 at 8PM, and will be followed by a talkback Q&A. The performance will take place on Saturday, May 9th at 8 pm at The Green Room 42. PRICING: $30 general seating/$45 front-row priority seating; $25 Livestream access
