Spectators are part of the show at this immersive murder mystery opera opening in Brooklyn

"Running May 14-16 at Bad Therapy, Dinner to Die For is an intimate murder mystery operatic experience from the ICEBERG New Music Collective that turns a dinner party into a live-action whodunit. And with only 20 guests admitted per night, the event is leaning hard into exclusivity."

"Rather than sitting back and watching a stage production unfold, attendees become part of the drama itself, navigating an evening of secrets, accusations and live musical performances while dining on a three-course meal prepared by executive chef William Emery. Wine, beer and champagne are included, with cocktails available via cash bar."

"The menu will include "Green With Envy Soup," "Kitchen Knife Tartare" (minced lamb or beef), "Darkened Alley Black Sea Bass" or "A Walk in the Woods Cassoulet" and a dessert that includes an edible funeral bouquet for those looking to murder a good meal."

"At the center of the production is composer Stephanie Ann Boyd, whose original work shapes the evening's emotional and theatrical arc, particularly during what organizers describe as the score's climactic final scene. (As opposed to those dreaded anticlimactic final scenes.)"
