AboutPamela Thomas Expertise Questions on Opera performance, repertoire, vocal technique, acting for opera. I have some 20 years experience in opera in both leading roles and chorus. I have sung with New York City Opera since 1981. I have studied voice in NYC for over 20 years and have also taught technique and coached singers in acting.
Question have been listening to a lot of operas- the magic flute is one of my favorites.
I have a pretty eclectic background in music - oriental thru western, classical thru rock.
If I was toc compose an opera that i have sketches for- how shd i begin -i cannot read music yet.
Answer Hi Sat,
It would be wonderful if you could begin to study.... you seem so creative - perhaps taking a course at a music school? Also, many music schools have a composition department - perhaps you could take your sketches in and ask for some advice?
I'm sorry I can't be of more help - but I would try to connect up with a music school/university and get their opinion on what you are doing...
But if you really want to compose you need to read music - and study it deeply.
