Abstract:

Background. Operas for children-performers emerged almost two centuries ago. The first authors who began creative experiments in this field were amateur composers. In the second half of the 19th century opera for childrenperformers attracted the attention of music teachers who by education were often choir conductors. These authors created their works considering capabilities and needs of their students. The 20th century operas intended for children performance mainly were composed by professional composers, whose works have finally crystallized and sustained characteristic features of this ge

Abstract:

Opera, an important link of contemporary culture, has a considerable influence on the individual and society, directing and enriching the cognitive, affective and attitudinal universe of the audience. Postmodernist ideology projects opera into a crisis, stimulating the development of controversial artistic forms. But, at the same time, the information environment gives Opera the possibility of transiting the closed spaces of the halls, propagating and broadcasting the lyrical performances in front of an impressive audience. The social and cultural-artistic context of the last decades has favor

Contemporary opera is increasingly deepening in international cooperation, cross- cultural artistic expression, global exploration of local social issues, and artists' social participation. Today is a new humanistic era for contemporary opera and other art forms. The artistic and humanistic languages of different nationalities and cultures communicate and dialogue on more diverse artistic platforms. Therefore, the creation of realistic opera which reflects

Abstract:

Il crociato in Egittowas the last in a series of Italian operas written by Giacomo Meyerbeer between 1817 and 1824. Although hisEmma di ResburgoandMargherita d'Anjouhad been successful in Venice and Milan, it wasIl crociatothat put Meyerbeer in the first rank of internationally renowned composers of Italian opera. The work's contemporary popularity makes it an important element in the history of early nineteenth-century Italian opera, and the abundant source material that survives for the opera permits a reconstruction of its early history.

Abstract:

Abstract Engaging the viewer in a dialogue with the opera of Giuseppe Verdi is an approach that involves him spiritually, culturally, morally. You can enter this universe of opera music through several gates. The wide path of science will walk through the portal of stylistics, aesthetics, philosophy or art history. On another road comes the profane, motivated by the love for the beautiful. The opera Nabucco was the first step in the evolution of Italian lyrical theatre – from melodrama to realistic drama – characterised by the unity and strength of artistic conception, the energy and simplicit

Abstract:

There was a pleasantly informal atmosphere at The Print Room during the premiere run of Opera Erratica's new Triptych this May. Comprising three short operas for voices and electronics, Triptych presented a new interpretation of contemporary chamber opera, incorporating elements of multimedia – including live video and photographic projections – alongside elements of more traditional art forms, such as a strikingly cartoonish set by the Young British Artist Gavin Turk.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTRecent debates about ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture and the perceived repositioning of such categories have had potentially profound implications for opera. British artist Sam Taylor-Wood’s video installation Killing Time (1994) provides a useful starting point from which to explore these polemics. By juxtaposing images of mundane daily life with a soundtrack drawn from Strauss’s Elektra, Taylor-Wood seems to present opera and ‘the everyday’ as irreconcilable. Yet, the perception of opera as highbrow has by no means been a historical constant in Britain. This article considers the extent to

AbstractThe appearance of thecorps sonoreat a key dramatic moment in Rameau'sPygmalion(1748) opens up anespace sensible(a term borrowed from Michel Leiris) where sounds derived from the harmonic series can articulate transformed temporal and spatial environments. Thecorps sonore– rediscovered and repurposed by the spectral movement of the 1970s – reappears in a number of twenty-first-century operas in order to animate a late-modern sense of theespace sensible. Instead of crossing a threshold towards the transcendent, the seemingly immobilecorps sonorecan now represent a modernist sense of loss

The article was inspired by the authors’ reviews of modern productions of Handel’s Baroque operas in 2019, presented in the three German cities: Halle, Bad Lauchstädt and Bernburg. Halle, where Georg Friedrich Handel (1685–1759) was born, is also a venue of the annual International Handel Festival, dedicated to the works of the great Saxon and his contemporaries. The concept of the festival in 2019, Sensitive, heroic, sublime: Handel’s women, was devoted to studying the female images embodied in his operas. In considering the scientific and artistic concept, the authors concluded that the dire

There follows a detailed study of three works produced in Britain during this time, all of which are of particular significance to this composer: Maxwell Davies’s The Lighthouse, Saariaho’s L’amour de loin, and Birtwistle’s The Minotaur.

In tandem with the composition of my chamber opera, The Exile, I have undertaken research into characterisation within the context of opera and musical theatre, with a focus on both the delineation of individual characters and the context in which they appear. Parameters of the work are discussed in comparison with canonic works of both opera and music theatre. Contemporary uses of leitmotif, representation of speech and folk music within o

Abstract:

Writing for solo instruments today offers composers an option to create a framework that results from the psychoacoustic interaction of composer, listener and performer. The interaction between musicians, audience and the concert environment, and the extent to which they themselves embody the material of the music presented, can be called into question and a composer's expectation of the dynamics of the concert situation is part of this examination. This understanding in turn prepares the way for one of the ultimate challenges and achievements for a composer, writing an opera. Opera combines a

This practice-led research explores the potential of multidisciplinary collaboration as a strategy to break down tacit knowledge and increase individual and group creativity.

The knowledge generated from this research offers a practical insight into systematic methods for collaboration and strategies for aesthetic decision making in interdisciplinary ensembles.
