ASCAP composer seeks librettist for collaboration on an original operetta concept.
Libretto experience preferred, but poetry and/or dramaturgical background also acceptable.
Enthusiasm, versatility, and imaginativeness a must.
Familiarity with Broadway and operatic idioms recommended.
Enjoyment of "cult classic" science fiction, horror, and/or dystopian cinema also preferred.
Project seeks to fuse the so-called "New Wave/Neo-Romantic movement" of American opera and musical theatre ("Dead Man Walking", "Harvey Milk", "Little Women"/ "Sweeney Todd", "Wicked") with the idioms of the cinematic styles mentioned above (see the work of George Romero, John Carpenter, David Cronenberg and Roger Corman, among others) to create a truly engaging new work for a new generation of operagoers.
CA [California] residence not required, as most collaboration will likely take place via email, etc.
* Location: General
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: Project is speculative, however, any eventual profits/fees will be divided as close to 50/50 as possible.
