La Piñata : opéra et forme ouverte
This doctoral dissertation aims to define the steps leading to the creation of an open form opera titled La Piñata. The dissertation is structured in two parts. The first part explores the concept of open form and the multiple practical applications it can generate. This exploration brings me to detail the open form model I used for La Piñata. The second part highlights the workings of my compositional process, presenting the libretto and the approaches I favoured to set it to music; I develop the concept of musical objet, describing my modus operandi for vocal composition, the creation of a signifying space and proposing a few additional keys to my musical language.   Therefore, this doctoral project paves the way to the open form model created for La Piñata: a structure designed to be developed freely through the gradual introduction of fragments, ultimately forming a constellation of events, allowing tonal ruptures, portraying a growing number of spaces and juxtaposing temporalities. Finally, I will highlight how this research and creation project helped me forge a close connection with the specific art form that is opera and how the study and critique of this art form helped me create a personal language,  leading me to explore new expressive means and strengthening my position as an artist.
