Idyllic Shepherd Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Congrats! Is it reminescent to Stravinsky's Opera "Nightingale"? Give me details about the Opera! orchestrations, singers, story line etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QcCowboy Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 yes congratulations. this is a VERY exciting project. I'd love to come down to hear it if I have time (and some spare change)... Ohio (that IS where it is, right?) is a bit of a ride for us, but it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Thank you all for your congratulations - sorry I didn't thank y'all sooner - my internet has been down recently. Yes, I will keep you all posted on official business pertaining to the opera - cast, crew, orchestra, performance dates, etc. Shepherd - I'm not very familiar with Stravinsky's "Nightingale" - though it's the same story, and I heard some of the orchestral music from his opera. My setting of the story is a bit more post-modern and confusing in its language, and the musical styles shift around quite a lot, as it's all differentiated by character. QC - Yes, it's Ohio, just southwest of Cleveland - about a half hour. Hopefully the weather won't be awful - it is in January after all.
