Operatic Subjects: Music and Literature, 1800-1850

Romantic Subjects

Operatic Subjects: Music and Literature, 1800-1850
                     
This panel proposes to consider the dialogue between music and literature as
it emerges in opera during the period 1800 to 1850. We seek proposals which
explore the adaptation of literary works into operas, and in turn the role
of opera in novels and plays, or the presence of this dialogue in
contemporary reviews and articles on operas. Much remains to be explored in
these contemporary essays and their relevance for Romantic authors. The
panel would also provide a forum for music specialists and Romanticists to
meet and discuss their respective takes on the topic.
 
Please submit 500-word proposals by 15 January 2001 to:
