SULPICIA SONGS

About The Event
SULPICIA SONGS is a solo opera-theater fever dream for voice, electronics, and piano.
Caught between an ancient and future self in the endless process of “coming of age,” performer-composer Elliot Menard looks to the 20 BCE poems of Sulpicia (the only ancient Roman female poet whose work survives) to explore her own 2026 CE growing pains and power struggles in love, work, and family.
The music blends experimental opera with confessional pop, weaving Sulpicia’s Latin elegies (voice and electronics) together with Elliot’s songs (voice and piano) through personal stories. Projections by director-designer Rosie Tabachnick are both supertitles (text & translation) and glimpses into the inner worlds of each song.
