If can manage it, I'd love to go. I have an old singer friend who I could stay with who lives over there.
On another note, I'm thrilled to death that Wourinen is writing Ennis as a bass-baritone. That's my voice type. This means that I will have BBM material that I can use at auditions, recitals, etc. Hell...somewhere down the line I might even get to play him in some future production of the opera. Hey...a guy can dream can't he?? O0
sel:
Wow! Looking forward to that!

Mikaela:

I just thought of another interesting angle.
Do you wanna know how many women have written operas?? I don't know for sure, but there's ONLY 1 that I know of: Toni Morrison. Her novel BELOVED became a feature film thanks to Oprah. Then composer Richard Danielpour wanted to write an opera on the book's heroine, Margaret Garner. Morrison was interested in the project, and she wrote the libretto for MARGARET GARNER. I performed in the first full production of the opera here in Philly a few years ago.
The BBM opera process is taking that same path.
