Present Activity:
UPDATE on my opera in progress:
The new Opera is progressing. I am now composing on the final Act (Act IV) which will be about 15-20 minutes. As always, I initially work with full orchestration, over 400 pages of orchestra score now, about an hour and forty-five minutes. Act I, II, III, and Coda (following Act IV) are complete.
