I don’t think opera is different from the little shows that I do. If I’m playing at Beebop Records to 10 people in folding chairs, they must be made to forget that they’re sitting in folding chairs just as much as these ladies and gentlemen must be made to forget that they’re sitting in a box at the opera.
Lyricist/ Librettist/ Playwright
My approach to writing to music or plays is the same. Song cycles to cabaret, opera to a chorus of children, jazz to chamber. The same. Story, character, mood. The same. San Francisco Opera, New York City Opera, Sonoma City Opera, Zurich Opera. The same. Collaborating with Andre Previn, Conrad Susa, Jake Heggie or Eliot Douglas. The same. Historical or literary adaptations. translations or originals. La meme. Disney or Switzerland. Snow difference.
Actor/ Performer
Actors age. Wrinkles express. Experience matters. All true. Ho-hum. Memorizing lines. Still tough. Entering in. Projecting character. Always fun. Performing songs. Pure joy. Classical repertory. Avant-garde. New York. Los Angeles. Asher Hartman. Will Geer. Gawdafful Company. Theatricum Botanicum. Mute bartender. Herr Peacham.Iachimo Hortensio. Asher character. Past present. Present forward. Holy shit. My life.

"The actors don’t just perform fragmentation or psychic rupture; they seem, at times, to be caught within its web.”
