After conducting the interview you can start writing your opera text. Fortunately this doesn’t have to be a perfect text the first time around. Start by writing a sketch, and share it with your teammates via the website.

On 9 June all the text-writers got together to discuss their librettos, both in the group and individually with Ilonka Verdurmen. You’ll remember her from the workshops in May. Together with her they took another good luck at your text, after which they were free to make some last-minute changes. This version, the almost-definitive one, gets posted online.

Here you can see a few examples of opera texts that have been written already.
