This is a one-day networking event sponsored by the British Academy. Its aim is to bring together scholars and practitioners with research interests in the field of German opera from c.1900-1935. Particular attention will be given to historiographical problems and staging issues (past and present) relating to the works of key operatic composers of the period, including Korngold, Pfitzner, Schreker, and Strauss. There will also be a session devoted to Schoenberg’s ‘unfinished masterpiece’ _Moses und Aron_, in light of its recent WNO revival.
The keynote address will be given by Professor Peter Franklin (University of Oxford). Other speakers include Dr Mark Berry (Royal Holloway), Dr Roger Allen (University of Oxford), Dr Ben Winters (Open University), and Philip White (Asst Chorus Master, Bayreuther Festspiele).
Registration is free of charge and includes lunch and refreshments, but places are limited. If you are interested in attending, and for a full programme and further details, please contact Dr Nicholas Attfield (Brunel University) at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by no later than 8 September 2014. Travel expenses within the UK will be considered for early career scholars and postgraduate students who wish to attend.
