THE RIDDLE, by composer Tamar Muskal and librettist/stage director Daniel Kramerreimagines the Biblical story of Hagar, Isaac, and Sarah through a futuristic lens.

As entitled societies occupy space and a suffocating Earth, Muskal and Kramer ask: what will ordinary people do to survive? This bold new work explores human resilience, morality, and myth in a time of ecological collapse.

THE RIDDLE will receive a public workshop produced by AOP in April 2026 at the DiMenna Center, Cary Hall.
