the opera "Adam und Eva" finished

From the first exposé and discussion with the commissioning body to the final note in the final bar of the final page, it was a process of over four years. I could say I am done, but that would only be part of the story. The basic composition is finished, but now we start on the post-production: creating the piano reduction, fine-tuning the live electronics, present for the rehearsal process with the stage director Andrea Moses, talking though the video with Sarah Derendinger, etc. The premiere is within a year, on May 2nd, at the Schwetzinger Festspiele in collaboration with the Landestheater Linz. The countdown starts. For the curious, here is the preliminary score online.
