Operatic works by Italian composers of the nineteenth century have
undergone countless transformations since their premieres, shifting
shape in response to a variety of new geographic, temporal,
technological, and performative contexts. These enduring works by
Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Puccini, and their
contemporaries have myriad stories to tell. Fashions and Legacies
reconstructs a selection of these stories, exploring ways in which
operatic works have been reshaped and revived throughout the
nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. While focusing
on how these works have been altered, the thirteen contributors in
this book also respond to fundamental questions: how has this music
retained - or sacrificed - its powerful messages in the face of
deconstruction and recontextualization over time and place? What
happens to these operas once they have escaped control of their
authors? The contributions of singers, stage directors, conductors,
and other theatrical personalities stand front and center of the
volume.
