Research

Research Interests

Her research focuses in particular on European art music of the 20th and 21st centuries.

In her current doctoral thesis, she is working on "Religion in contemporary music theatre". Her work centres on 21st century operas in which religious narratives, texts, motifs and associations play a role. Selected works are analysed with regard to the texts and subjects used, their musical structure and the history of their reception and impact. In addition to the fundamental question of the concrete processing of religious elements, both the public and artistic discourse - led by representatives of ambitious music - will be examined with regard to the judgement of religion. The examination of both compositions and discourses will provide insights into the significance of religion in contemporary music theatre as one of the most ambitious art forms of all. It will then be examined to what extent conclusions can be drawn from the genre-related findings about contemporary music in general.
