I'm fascinated to watch, but alas I cannot join in... I'm working on an opera right now and I don't want any cross-pollination (as it were...).

Might I suggest a course of action to start with?

1. Determine the orchestra. Number of players, which instruments, etc.
2. Determine the main characters, their voice types (looks like you've already started that, see post #16)
3. Determine how many other people are required. Is there a chorus? If so, how many? Men? Women?

Try starting there and I'm sure that will help you all get on the same page.

Good luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
