The opera gave me quite a new idea - the concert opera: sit round a table with copies & sing with a minimum of action (no costumes). I thought it was a perfect representation. Do you think there's a little bit too much 6/8 in the opera? I wonder if Nigel Playfair would do it at his light opera season. But I dare say you've thought of that. The one thing I can't yet quite get hold of is 'Hammersmith' - but you are (like your daughter) a realist & you are almost unique in that your stuff sounds better when it is played on the instrument it was originally written for. |
