Conference announcement:
Beyond Press Cuttings: New Approaches to Reception in Opera Studies
Oxford Brookes University
13 September 2011
Far from being a mere historical ‘footnote’, reception has come to be seen
as central to the study of opera over the past decades. Reception studies
have moved from the perfunctory inclusion of a few choice newspaper snippets
to a fresh perspective on music that relocates the traditional focus on
composers and works towards performances and audiences. The purpose of this
conference is to consider the ways in which the parameters of operatic
reception studies are shifting to include new sources, new media and new
audiences, and in the process shedding new light on how societies have
received and made use of opera, from the nineteenth century to the present
day.
This conference, which is being organised by the Oxford Brookes opera
research unit (OBERTO), has received affiliation from the Royal Musical
Association.
