I have been writing operas, and thinking a lot about operas. I have been collecting stories. I have been taking notes about stories, characters, bits of music, phrases, lines…

Tamanduá – a Brazilian opera.

Plastic Flowers – a monodrama.

Cries and Whispers

A Trilogy – short operas for the Twitter age

The Seventh Seal

You will find information about the operas I have finished, audio and video recordings, and ideas for future operas.
