This seminar aims at exploring and developing the modes of the musician of researching and verbalizing their own experience. Research texts based on a researcher’s own experience as well as the foundations and challenges of research and writing based on a musician’s own experience will be discussed. Texts based on each student’s own doctoral project will be produced.” More information

The business of staging an opera at German opera houses is a complex process. It involves philosophical, aesthetical, economical and practical aspects as well as aspects of audience response.
About the topic: An opera production is an interpretation of a work of art. It is not the work itself but an artistical creation of its own right. The collective process of creating it involves intentional and non-intentional biases.
The seminar will explore these forces in five sessions as they were in work in four recent productions at the Staatstheater Karlsruhe: Verdi’s “Macbeth” (unabridged Paris version, 1865; dir.: Holger Müller-Brandes, set: Philipp Fürhofer); Meyerbeer’s “Le prophète” (dir.: Tobias Kratzer, set: Rainer Sellmaier); Wagner’s “Rheingold” (dir.: David Hermann, set: Jo Schramm) and “Die Walküre” (dir.: Yuval Sharon, set: Sebastian Hannak).
Excerpts of these productions will be screened. Knowledge of these works is required. Seminar language will be English.
Reading materials: Knowledge of the operas, mentioned above, is required.
Assessment criteria: Active participation, discussing — 2 ECTS; essay 3000 characters with spaces for BAK and MAG students — 3 ECTS; 6000 characters with spaces for doctoral students — 3 ECTS.
