Emmeline is an opera in two acts composed by American Tobias Picker with a libretto by J. D. McClatchy. Picker's first opera, it was commissioned by the Santa Fe Opera company and premiered in 1996.[1] Based on Judith Rossner's novel of the same name, Emmeline is an American retelling of the Oedipus myth from the mother’s viewpoint.[2]
In 2009, a chamber version of Emmeline was created for the Dicapo Opera.[3] In 2015, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis mounted a major new production of Emmeline that won universal acclaim.[4][5][6]
