Eric Lodal is a writer, producer, and director working across television, film, and the operatic stage. Trained at Yale and Juilliard — where he studied music and economics before earning a Master of Music — he brings a composer's ear and a dramatist's instinct to every room he enters.

He co-created Murder in the First for TNT and developed original projects at Warner Brothers, FX, Sony, Fox, and New Regency. His collaborations span film, music, and performance — including work with Steven Bochco and the Music Institute of Technology Foundation, and a celebrated creative partnership with rapper IDK. He has lectured on storytelling and narrative at Yale, and his current work centers on original opera and music-theater that pulls the emotional scale of the classical form into contemporary life.

He lives between Los Angeles and the mountains of Colorado.
