Historical representation of a theatre performance

Opera and Performance, Master of Arts (M.A.)

The master's programme in 'Opera & Performance' focuses on opera as a multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk, and is thus unique as a research-oriented programme in the German-speaking world. The master's programme follows on consecutively from the two relevant bachelor's programmes at the University of Bayreuth, 'Music Theatre Studies' and 'Theatre & Media', and distinguishes itself from the related master's programme 'Music & Performance' in its focus.

Platzhalterbild Person
This course has opened a lot of doors for me, especially in terms of approaching academic and artistic practice. I particularly appreciate the proximity to the lecturers and the smaller number of groups, as well as the opportunity to expand my interests in musical theater in many different directions. Highly recommended!
