Abstract

This thesis discusses different approaches to the composition of opera and new music theatre that include the perspective of the performer-composer as an important element contributing to the creative process. Among these approaches are: collaborative composition; transdisciplinary approaches, acoustic composition with electronic elements including traditional instruments and found objects; the inclusion
of the instrumental (as well as vocal) performers on stage; incorporating dancers as part of the score; approaches to composition that include certain degree of improvisation; writing for one’s own voice; employing a multilingual libretto; staged
concert music; and the relationship between music and dramaturgy among others. These different approaches to composition are discussed in relation to my own work included in the portfolio.
