Hello, Alicia, from the West Chester Poetry Conference. I know that you are hosting a small conference of your own in Greece, but I doubt that you will have the resources to stage an opera. Admittedly, the "Nosferatu" production here was a scaled-down version, with pianist, four soloists and a small chorus. It was a great success. The music and libretto seemed to mesh exceptionally well. I would like to ask whether you are a fan of opera, and more generally, whether you have written words for music. It seems to me that the enduring popularity of song guarantees that successive generations will remain interested in writing verse. Nevertheless, metrical verse is quite different from verse written for the rhythmic template of music. Making the transition from one to the other is a difficult task.
