PhD Music Theatre

A PhD in Music Theatre invites you to work across media to challenge disciplinary boundaries.

You’ll study with expert faculty to produce a performance work. You support this with a portfolio of practical research activities or compositions and critical writing. You’ll also have access to our specialist facilities.

Our supervisors have experience both inside and outside of the academy, with particular expertise in:

  • art practice
  • production
  • modernity.

We welcome research proposals in the history and theory of opera and music theatre as well as artistic practice. Situated within the transdisciplinary culture of the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, we encourage applications from varied disciplinary backgrounds.

Music theatre is an inherently multimedia artform that can be reconfigured to create challenging theatrical experiences. At Sussex, we welcome proposals from artists from all disciplines who wish to engage with the media of music theatre.” Professor Nick Till
