"Only proposals for new works (i.e. projects which have not yet proceeded beyond initial planning stages) will be considered."

"Proposal should include samples of score/libretto for new work."

Reflecting on a thought-provoking #ROHEngender weekend @RoyalOperaHouse - inspiring conversations happening on and off stage, and powerful work shared by talented female creative teams. Yes please more of this.

Thoughts with all our members this #NationalWritingDay - whether you're writing today or not, you're still a librettist.

[Librettist Network @LibrettistNet]

Super-exciting that our Open Studios @RoyalOperaHouse have been announced - check out all the great shows, people, and events happening here!

Enjoying #CardiffSinger's beautiful singing - though we're pretty much contractually obliged to ask who wrote the words for most of these songs... ;)
