TORONTO, Canada: Richard has begun collaboration with singer and producer Fides Krucker, librettist Tom Walmsley and composer Louis Dufort on a new opera entitled "Julie sits waiting".
HAVANA, Cuba: Richard is to spend a week in Cuba at the end of May 2008, as the guest of the Ludwig Foundation for Cuban Art.
CHICAGO, USA: As a culmination of Richard’s four recent trips to the Theater School of DePaul University, Chicago, five members of the voice, speech and movement faculty (Claudia Anderson, Trudie Kessler, Patrice Egleston, Phyllis Griffin and Phil Timberlake) created a new performance work and presented it with great success in May 2007 at The Peace School. To make these visits possible the faculty had either raised money through grants or received funding from the dean. A new visit is planned in May 2008 (see below).
ROME, Italy: Richard is invited to perform in the new opera "Alexander", by Italian composer Mauricio Squillante in 3 roles being written for his voice. He will play Alexander's three teachers - Aristotle, Diogenes and Aristander - in performances in 2008/2009. He collaborated with the composer to create the voice parts in three development workshops in Rome between 2006 and 2007. The opera is being produced by the Italian Association for Contemporary Opera (www.aiolc.it). Fides Krucker (who created roles in Mauricio Squillante’s last opera “The Wings of Dedalus”) will create and perform the role of Alexander’s mother in the new opera. |
