This paper focuses on The Mile-Long Opera, created by architect Elizabeth Diller and composer David Lang with contributions from other artists. This “subversive” open-air opera is interpreted especially from an architectural perspective in relation to its performance venue – the High Line rail trail on Manhattan’s West Side – from the point of view of an inter-categorial work crossing multiple genres, introducing its various components into new relationships and contexts in terms of both staging and multi-performativity. Musicianship alludes not only to civic music-making, but also to the heteronomous infected process of autonomization, and citizenship is a heteronomization arising from the permanent process of the differing of artistic autonomy. The impacts of this include those on terminology – and, for example, that traditional theatrological and musicological terminology is changing its scope and content, triggering the need for a re-thinking.
