Paul Moravec and I will be spending the next few days sitting in a midtown rehearsal studio, helping a group of professional singers learn the first six scenes of The Letter, our Somerset Maugham opera-in-progress, in preparation for a pair of private workshop performances that will be presented later this week by Santa Fe Opera.
Paul and I saw the first run-through of The Letter on Saturday morning. I can’t begin to tell you how exciting an experience it was. No details just yet, but suffice it to say that things are going very, very well.
I’m going to be tied up tight all week, so forgive me in advance for my absence from the blog. I’ll fill you in when I return.
