This volume of essays discusses the European and global expansion
of Italian opera and the significance of this process for debates
on opera at home in Italy. Covering different parts of Europe, the
Americas, Southeast and East Asia, it investigates the impact of
transnational musical exchanges on notions of national identity
associated with the production and reception of Italian opera
across the world. As a consequence of these exchanges between
composers, impresarios, musicians and audiences, ideas of operatic
Italianness (italianita) constantly changed and had to be
reconfigured, reflecting the radically transformative experience of
time and space that throughout the nineteenth century turned opera
into a global aesthetic commodity. The book opens with a
substantial introduction discussing key concepts in
cross-disciplinary perspective and concludes with an epilogue
relating its findings to different historiographical trends in
transnational opera studies.
