This sounds really interesting. In the unlikely event that you haven't
already sought the help of any music organisations, they have a very good
schools/education programme at Glyndebourne. Black tie not needed.
Aim high. John Adams wrote about the Manhattan Project in Dr Atomic. And a
fine opera it was too.
Jonathan Harvey late of Sussex University is also a "name".

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Wanted: Music Composer for Science Opera!
Dear psci-commers,
I have an unusual request to put to you....
I wish to find a composer would be interested in a very exciting scientific
commission! If anyone knows of a science communicator who is also a highly
skilled composer capable of penning a 20-30 minute opera (possibly for a few
principles, small choir and instrumental accompaniment of sorts) around an
extremely medical theme please pass my details onto them. Alternatively if
you know of any non science composer who would be interested please still do
get in touch! More details available off list. This project is in early
stages - so at this point I am trying to establish timescales and budgets.
Any help much appreciated!

Thanks!!
Jenny
