La Suspendida's 2025 live album, La Suspendida (Live), presents an ambitious fusion of avant-garde metal, free jazz, and operatic performance. The project reimagines the tragic tale of María Elena Milagros, shifting the narrative focus from her infamous suitor, Dr. Carl Tanzler, to María Elena herself, granting her agency and voice in a posthumous journey through liminal spaces between life and death.
The ensemble features a diverse array of talent, including the experimental jazz trio Kilter, operatic soprano Andromeda Anarchia as María Elena, the Montreal-based Growlers Choir, and the string quartet Seven)Suns. The libretto, penned by Metropolitan Opera's William Berger, complements the complex musical arrangements, aiming to evoke specific moods and emotions aligned with the narrative.
Critical reception has been polarized. Decibel Magazine premiered the album, highlighting its daring exploration of themes and musical styles. Conversely, The Progressive Subway criticized the album for its convoluted rhythms and perceived lack of cohesion, describing it as "wildly offensive" and "excessively wasteful in its roster of talent."
Despite the divided opinions, La Suspendida (Live) stands as a testament to the possibilities of genre-blending in modern opera, challenging traditional narratives and musical boundaries.
