The Soldiers
Who Wanted to Kill Death
My first opera came about in an interesting way. I had come up with the idea and written the libretto and a bit of the music, but had no opportunity to produce it until…. someone slipped a note under my front door saying that a local opera company was looking for new works. I jumped at the chance and “Goat Hall Production” put on the opera.

A few years later, Sonoma Arts Live (then called The Sonoma Theatre Alliance) collaborated with me in mounting another full production.
