The Winter 2009 issue of The Schwartz Scene is online and is packed with news related to Stephen Schwartz and features a special update provided by Stephen with lots of terrific insight about the process of writing his first opera “Seance on a Wet Afternoon”.  Here’s a snippet:

“I had a fascinating moment when I was going over an aria with our brilliant leading lady, the soprano Lauren Flanigan. At one point on a big high note, I said to Lauren that I wanted a very warm sound because of the emotional content of the moment. Lauren replied instantly, “Oh, well, then you don’t want me on the high A where you have me; I can give you power on the A but for the warmest sound you probably want me on the G#.”
