Papers are invited for DIGITAL OPERA: NEW MEANS AND NEW MEANINGS, a special issue of the International Journal of Performance Arts & Digital Media (Spring 2012). This special issue is based on the exploratory symposium DIGITAL OPERA: NEW MEANS AND NEW MEANINGS, which will take place on 9 May 2011 at the Music Research Centre, University of York.

Together, the symposium and the special issue of IJPADM pose two key questions: how can 21st-century digital technology become a fundamental, constitutive element (voice) in the creation of digital opera? What could digital opera be? Motivated by innovations in digital performance and 21st-century music practice, this special issue will explore the open, creative space between composition, technology and theatre. The boundaries of digital opera will not be prescribed in advance; the aim is to open up pathways along which new concepts could develop. We are interested in finding the 'new meanings' within the 'new means'.
Contributions may deal with the following topics, but are not limited to them:
• The concept of digital opera
• Digital voice
• Space, place and intermediality
• Narrative in the digital age
Full articles of 5000-8000 words or developmental practice papers of 2000-3000 words should be submitted for peer review to [log in to unmask] by 1 September 2011. All submissions should adhere to the Intellect Journal Style and reflect the interests of the International Journal of Performance Arts & Digital Media.
