This practice-based PhD will research strategies and compositional techniques that can be used to effectively deliver abstract ideas through music theatre and opera. Being audio-visual interdisciplinary art forms, they are excellent media to deliver knowledge and in an expressive format to a general audience.The project will investigate existing opera productions linking science and art and non-naturalistic and conceptual theatre and opera from 1950 onwards. I will apply conceptual art ideas used by John Cage and his followers in their music, the devising techniques developed by Robert LePage, and the most recent collaborative and mixed media ideas stated by Jennifer Walshe's "New Discipline" to composition, in order to create performances that present clear concepts onstage.The creative methodology of this project will consist of writing and producing a set of new small-scale operas about recent developments in science. This field is a constant generator of new ideas, abstract concepts that can benefit from a combination of all art forms to be delivered. This contrasts with the conservative nature of mainstream opera, which mainly presents naturalistic stories through singing. Thus, I will develop composition and devising strategies to transform and present the scientific abstract concepts in an engaging manner for the audience. The performances as well as the participation in the current debate of the link between science and arts will always include critical evaluation for the project.

这个基于实践的博士学位将研究可用于通过音乐剧和歌剧有效传达抽象思想的策略和作曲技巧。作为视听跨学科的艺术形式，它们是向普通观众传递知识和表达形式的绝佳媒体。该项目将调查1950年以来将科学与艺术联系起来的现有歌剧作品以及非自然主义和概念戏剧和歌剧。我将应用概念艺术的想法使用约翰凯奇和他的追随者在他们的音乐，设计技术开发的罗伯特LePage，和最近的合作和混合媒体的想法所述詹妮弗沃尔什的“新学科”组成，，以创作出在舞台上呈现清晰概念的表演。这个项目的创作方法将包括编写和制作一套新的小型-关于科学最新发展的大型歌剧。这个领域是一个新的想法，抽象的概念，可以受益于所有艺术形式的组合，以提供不断发电机。这与主流歌剧的保守性质形成鲜明对比，主流歌剧主要通过演唱来呈现自然主义故事。因此，我将开发组合和设计策略，以吸引观众的方式转换和呈现科学抽象概念。表演以及参与当前关于科学与艺术之间联系的辩论将始终包括对项目的批判性评估。
