International conferen
ce on late eigtheenth century Italian opera

March 3-4 2015
Giuseppe Sarti (1729–1802), recognized in his lifetime as one of the central figures of his generation, nowadays belongs to the category of virtually neglected eighteenth-century Italian composers: he is scarcely remembered except for “providing” his famous younger contemporaries Salieri and Mozart with sparkling melodies, quoted in their operas.
The international conference “Giuseppe Sarti and Late Eighteenth-Century Italian Opera: From Text to Performance” aims at partially filling this lacuna by exploring Sarti’s contribution in the framework of Italian opera. Sarti’s most successful opera seria, Giulio Sabino (Venice, 1781), will be performed by the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance Vocal Department on March 3 and March 4 at 19:00, in the New Dance Studio (Jerusalem Academy Building, 3d floor).
The opera production is accompanied by an international conference that features 13 lectures by invited speakers who are the prominent scholars in the field of Italian opera and operas by Sarti, their dramaturgy and musical style, reception, editing and performance.
The conference is organized in collaboration and with support of the Musicology Department, Hebrew University, Jerusalem Istituto Italiano di cultura, Tel-Aviv
Einstein Stiftung / Universität der Künste, Berlin
Israel Musicological Society
