Opera is a powerful and capricious art-form which fascinates and challenges scholars from a variety of disciplines, inviting a multitude of scholarly responses. This study day at the New Zealand School of Music seeks contributions exploring many aspects of the ‘exotic and irrational entertainment’. Interdisciplinary approaches - especially from the perspective of philosophy and aesthetics - and presentations from postgraduate students are particularly welcome.
Topics may include, but are not restricted to
* Aesthetics, metaphysics of opera
* Reception studies, performance history
* New opera, the composer’s perspective
* Opera studies and musicology, methodological challenges
* Vocal pedagogy, training opera singers
* Production, direction, dramaturgy, mise-en-scène
* Programming and repertory
* Libretti, sources, translation
* Opera and digital media, opera on screen
* Iconography
* Opera-going as a cultural practice
* Literary responses to opera
* Participation and public engagement
