Words First: Talking Text in Opera
Kate Holland, Susan Werbe, and Sifting Through The Great War
Show Notes

Kate Holland and Susan Werbe were co-librettists on Letters That You Will Not Get, composed by Kirsten Volness, and produced by American Opera Projects.  In this episode, I speak to them both about their collaboration, and what it was like finding women’s voices from across the continents and weaving them together.
