David Pogue of the New York Times wrote a book from Tweets – The World According to Twitter and now Royal Opera House in England is going to write an opera! Follow YourOpera to be a part of the process (love the user name).
Royal Opera describes the project:
We’re working Twitterverse to create the storyline for a brand new opera, which will be performed throughout the weekend of Deloitte Ignite (4, 5, 6 September 2009). We’re investigating how short, 140-character contributions can build upon each other to create a non-linear narrative – like a Choose Your Own Adventure story or a game of Consequences. Our mysterious opera director will be regularly blogging here with updates on the story, and as well as offering his thoughts on how the story can combine with some music and acting and marvellous singing to become a finished piece.
I have never written for the opera before, but I think I will follow and see if I can contribute. After all I hadn’t written anything for a book before The World According to Twitter!
