Description
This seminar will explore how opera composers, librettists, singers, and directors have used time to create dramatic and musical effects. We will study a range of musical works from the Baroque period as well as the last two decades and examine the correlation between operatic temporality and broader philosophical and historical concepts of time. This seminar is designed for both musicologists and non-musicologists, therefore prior knowledge of music notation is not necessary.
