Shahryar, Omar D (2020) The composition of opera for young people. PhD thesis, University of York.
Abstract
This commentary is an auto-ethnographic analysis of a practice of composition of opera for young people accompanying a portfolio of three operas for young people. Young people, in this case, refers to people under the age of 21 years old between infancy and adulthood. Young people can play a variety of roles in the creation, performance and spectatorship of opera. Though mine is an interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary practice, composition will come under the most scrutiny in this research. Opera for young people raises questions around educational value, ethics, power, agency and authorship, revealing a distinction to be made between opera as a musico-dramatic form and opera as a cultural institution.
