Rebecca Miller Kratzer (Director) is a New York-based theater and opera director. Her work, rooted in explorations of ritual, brings the scale and gravitas of opera to theatre, and the intimacy and moment-to-moment truth of theatre to opera, rendering both forms awe-inspiring, relevant, and accessible. Prior to attending Columbia University’s MFA directing program under Anne Bogart, Rebecca was the artistic director of the NEMPAC Opera Project in Boston, MA where she produced and directed fully-staged operas in Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall. Favorite credits include Cendrillon (Opera del West), Three Sisters (Columbia University), Fidelio (NEMPAC Opera Project), and The Merchant of Venice (Columbia University). Rebecca is also a Directing Fellow at Opera Saratoga, has worked at a variety of theatre companies and arts organizations, and received her BA in Theater Arts from Brandeis University. This summer, she is incredibly grateful to work with Ida Esmaeili, Opera Saratoga, Katie Mitchell, and Whitney White on pre-production and digital work as we embrace and navigate this new normal.
