I saw you in Seattle as Wotan years ago. You were awesome. My question - You're having a dinner party. What 4 guests are you inviting (real or fictional, living or dead)? More importantly, what are you serving and what's on the stereo?

You're having a dinner party. What 4 guests are you inviting (real or fictional, living or dead)? More importantly, what's on the menu and musical playlist?

Thanks for sharing! Off to read it. And it seems there was a NY Times piece on your opera as well. Very cool. Congratulations!

Congratulations on your first opera! I was reading about you and learned you are partially deaf. While you are not the first deaf composer (Beethoven comes to mind), most of the ones I know about are , well, decomposing.

How has this affected your musical palette and approach to composition? I know Beethoven used lower frequencies as he experienced hearing loss and I'm wondering how you approach composing with your unique way of hearing.

P.S. I have friends in San Diego and I told them about your opera and they told me they already have tickets .
