From May 17 to 31, 2023, the Canada Research Chair in Opera Creation organized an interdisciplinary opera research-creation seminar at Orford Musique.
As part of this seminar, we began creating four five-minute operas designed to be performed online. They were created by four interdisciplinary groups of graduate students in composition, literature and/or theater, film and set design. Each team made its own individual creative choices with the support of the research team, but the creative work was also carried out through co-creation workshops bringing together all teams and guest artists.
The aim of this course is to familiarize student composers and performers with the process of creating a musical work to accompany dance or musical theater in collaboration with choreographers and playwrights.
