"Madam - The Opera is a world premiere immersive production, presented by Killer Queen Opera in collaboration with Gallery Particulier in Flatbush. Composed by Felix Jarrar with a libretto by Bea Goodwin, Madam chronicles Adler's rise from immigrant to madam to cultural power-broker, while the audience watches from the parlor of a '20s speakeasy."
"To make the opera even more immersive, audiences are encouraged to deck themselves out in their finest Jazz Age attire, becoming, for the length of the show, flies on the wall of Adler's beloved house of ill repute-one where Dorothy Parker would drop in to chat with Adler and which served the best bootleg liquor in the city with a private chef. Afterwards, take the train into Manhattan and get a drink at Polly's, a bar inspired by Adler located beneath Tanner Smith's in Hell's Kitchen."
"Directed and choreographed by Christina Swanson, Madam stars Karina Camile Parker as Polly, with Evan Main, Krissy Terwilliger, Trysten Reynolds, Aja Nile Brimm and Amy Guarino. The ensemble includes Lucas Bouk, Pedro Sequera, Nestor Carrillo and Milan Furtado. The creative team is comprised of Giulia Magarelli (music director), Mari Moriarty (intimacy director), Curtis Faulkner (solo choreography) and Annika Low and Killer Q"
