George R. Miller is an opera director. He creates sensorially rich, emotionally precise worlds that reckon with history, power, and body through sound, image, and staging. As a director and as a producer, Miller is dedicated to platforming and reimagining canonical repertoire, as well as championing newly created works. His productions have been called “stunning” (LA Dance Chronicle) and "superbly directed" (San Francisco Classical Voice), "coalescing into one undeniable impact" (San Francisco Classical Voice).

Professional highlights include directorial work presented by Opera Philadelphia, Long Beach Opera, REDCAT, Opera Saratoga, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Manhattan School of Music, University of California Los Angeles, Amant Center, Pioneer Works, The Berggruen Institute, Pageant, and Wild Up, among others. George was a lead producer for the performance-art organization Performa, founded by art historian RoseLee Goldberg, where he was a producer for the Performa23 Biennial in New York City, developing work with artists Nikita Gale, Teo Ala-Ruona, Publics (Finland), and Alexa West. This season, George makes both his European and Carnegie Hall debuts, in addition to work on a new production of Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw with UCLA.
