Shifting from a career in writing musicals to one writing operas (or possibly both at once) brings challenges beyond content, form, and style. How best to manage your own--and others’—expectations when bringing new work into an operatic environment regarding collaboration? development? production opportunities? compensation? politics? All perspectives and levels of experience/familiarity with contemporary opera are welcome to this candid, open-ended discussion. Led by yours truly. Open to alumni of the NYU Graduated Musical Theatre Writing Program only as part of their annual Sessions gathering.
