Dear Mr. Alburger,
My name is Isabel Paulo and I am a Hispanic Language and Literature teacher. I am doing a research project on contemporany operas based on the mythical figure of Antigone for the National Distance Learning University of Spain.
I am writing to you because Mr. Alburger was composer, librettist and director of the opera Antigone (San Francisco, 2000) and perhaps the libretto and musical composition of this opera could appear in the archives.
May I kindly ask if I could acquire a copy of these if possible, and if weren't it the case, where could I find them.
Thank you very much for your attention and kindness.
Best regards,
Isabel Paulo

Check the files and realize that Antigone only exists in hard copy at present, so will have to do a new pdf edition...
