Garden art and music theatre productions were integral elements of courtly representation in the early modern period and were intertwined in many ways: Gardens were used as settings for performances, for which theatres were built or which integrated the gardens into productions. Conversely, gardens based on real as well as ideal models have been part of the permanent arsenal of musical theatre stage decorations since the 17th century.The research project aims to examine the different ways in which court gardens were functionalised for music theatre and how they were represented in visual media. Furthermore, for the first time, their reception as core elements of stately metaphors and princely representation will be studied from a transdisciplinary perspective, linking expertise in musicology, music theatre studies and art history. This is based on a comparative analysis of libretti, scores, descriptions, paintings, prints, sketches and archival resources which document, imagine and propagate the characteristics of this intermedial constellation between garden art, music theatre and visual arts.The focus of the research project lies on the Dresden court, which can be considered an exemplary object of investigation. The various forms of artistic garden design and music-theatrical uses of the gardens as well as the music theatre productions themselves followed the highest international standards and were communicated through various media. Because Dresden competed with other courts in this way, the project takes on a pan-European perspective. Thanks to various preparatory studies on the Dresden court gardens and the opera repertoire as well as on the good source situation regarding librettos, scores, visual media and archival materials, the conditions for such a comparative diachronic case study are favourable. An authority data-based approach to scene descriptions in the opera libretti will make it possible to classify the garden and nature scenes in their overall context as well as their references to real gardens and those documented in visual media.The research project is divided into two thematic areas: "The Garden as a Site of Music Theatre Staging" and "The Garden on the Music Theatre Stage". Both will be covered by a musicological and art historical dissertation project each as well as a music theatre studies monograph in close cooperation. Three accompanying workshops, which will take place in Dresden, Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe and Schwetzingen, will present the possibility to enlarge upon the topics, discuss methods and to provide a comparative perspective on the project. At the same time, the potential with regard to further transfers in a possible follow-up project will be explored.

花园艺术和音乐剧院的作品是现代早期宫廷代表的组成部分，并在许多方面交织在一起：花园被用作表演的环境，为此建造了剧院或将花园纳入制作。相反，自17世纪以来，基于真实和理想模型的花园一直是音乐剧院舞台装饰的永久武器库的一部分。该研究项目旨在研究各种方式在音乐剧院效力的法院花园以及它们在视觉媒体中的代表性。此外，将首次从跨学科的角度研究它们作为庄严隐喻和王子代表的核心元素的接待，这将音乐学，音乐剧院研究和艺术史上的专业知识联系起来。这是基于对库丽，分数，描述，绘画，印刷品，草图和档案资源的比较分析，这些资源记录，想象力和传播花园艺术，音乐剧院和视觉艺术之间的中间星座的特征。花园的各种形式的艺术花园设计和音乐戏剧用途以及音乐剧院作品本身遵循最高的国际标准，并通过各种媒体进行了传达。由于德累斯顿以这种方式与其他法院竞争，因此该项目具有泛欧的观点。感谢您对德累斯顿法院花园和歌剧曲目的各种准备研究，以及关于librettos，分数，视觉媒体和档案材料的良好来源状况，这种比较透性案例研究的条件是有利的。在歌剧Libretti中，基于数据的现场描述的方法将使在整体上下文中对花园和自然场景进行分类，以及他们对真实花园和视觉媒体中文献记载的场景。研究项目分为两个主题区域：“花园作为音乐剧场的场所”和“音乐剧院舞台上的花园”和“音乐剧院的花园”。两者都将由音乐和艺术历史论文项目以及密切合作的音乐剧院研究专着涵盖。将在德累斯顿举行的三个参与研讨会，Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe和Schwetzingen，将提出扩大主题，讨论方法并对该项目提供比较观点的可能性。同时，将探讨有关可能的后续项目中进一步转移的潜力。
