Very cool, even though (a) I do not quality, yet (b) I am planning to write an opera 8)
You should look for the guild of Italian/ Spanish contemporary composers. These guild exist. I m not sure there is an BiH one.
In France, the web site of the French one
http://www.cdmc.asso.fr/ (http://www.cdmc.asso.fr/)
Lots of information and resources there. I use it when I am looking for a biography.
Contact them to get the information you need on their correspondents in spain and italy.
One thing. The title of the project can be a little confusing (translation problems, i guess). We are not looking for an Opera, but for a musical piece for orchestra (7 mins)
Spineur, thanks a lot for the advice. I have tried, but they are on holidays now ;-)
All, All the help in disseminationg the project would be appreciated
