Écrire un opéra au xxi^e siècle La démarche sensitive de George Benjamin

This work will first define the sensitive sense of art and music, then demonstrate how such a sensitive approach is at the core of contemporary lyrical creations such as Philippe Boesmans’, Peter Eötvös’, Kajia Saariaho’s and Ana Sokolović’s operas, and most notably in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin.
