Background, orientation and purpose
Profiles: Austria
As a result of the radical changes sweeping through Europe at the time, the European Music Theatre
Academy (EMA) was established on 26 May 1992 in the Ständetheater Prag in partnership with
following countries and institutions:
Forschungsinstitut für Musiktheater der Universität Bayreuth, Germany;
Theatre “Vanemuine”, Tartu, Estonia;
Academy of Science, Prague, Czech Republic;
Institut für Theaterwissenschaft an der Universität Wien, Austria.
Since then, national branch offices have been established. An extensive pan-European network is
envisaged.
During its formative stage, EMA was oriented mainly towards extending help to partners in Eastern
Europe so they could become self-reliant. Now EMA sees itself more and more as a platform for
dialogue. EMA has set itself the task of enhancing and bringing together research in music theory and
practice throughout Europe.
The Academy builds contacts between scientists and practitioners, facilitating the exchange of
opinions and experiences. It is EMA’s intention to optimise both the research work being carried out
and the practical cooperation that is ongoing in European music theatres.
