Welche Praktiken? Welche Forschung? Perspektiven auf praxisgeleitete Forschung zum (Musik)Theater der Frühen Neuzeit

Practice-led research in opera and theatre studies of the Early modern period can benefit from leveraging the distinct approaches of music and theatre studies, particularly through 'historically informed performance.' A recent study demonstrated that integrating scholarly work with artistic practice—such as a 2024 performance of L’Huomo (1754) by Wilhelmine von Bayreuth at the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth—enhances understanding of musico-theatrical works while navigating economic and institutional constraints. The research highlights the value of feedback loops between academic and artistic endeavors, offering a model for future practice-led studies that balance historical simulation with contemporary feasibility.
