On Wednesday we (the librettist and I) met to discuss the progress so far on the new opera. Its the first time that I've worked so interactively with someone. My previous opera was based on a play by a writer living in America, so we corresponded by email - not quite the same. We picked at details in the 2 scenes written, and the revised results are a lot stronger. We have also decided what sort of shape the remainder of the piece could take. Since then I have been working on the revisions, progress indeed.
The next thing to think about will be a workshop/run through!
