| Verdi's Third Century: Italian Opera Today An International Conference • New York University October 9-13, 2013 • Casa Italiana Zerilli-Mariṃ and the Humanities Initiative As we approach the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), interest in his operas remains undiminished. Verdi's music continues to travel around the world in live performances and recordings, and new technologies--from the internet to high-definition simulcasts--have made opera accessible to broader audiences. The international conference Verdi's Third Century: Italian Opera Today will bring together scholars, practitioners, and critics at New York University to discuss the circulation and perception of Verdi--and of Italian opera--in today's world. A principal focus will be how Verdi’s works have been interpreted, imagined, and appropriated. The program committee includes Suzanne Cusick (New York University), Francesco Izzo (University of Southampton and American Institute for Verdi Studies), Roberta M. Marvin (University of Iowa), Hilary Poriss (Northeastern University), Emilio Sala (University of Milan and Istituto Nazionale di Studi Verdiani), and Mary Ann Smart (University of California, Berkeley). The call for papers is now closed, and the committee is working on finalizing the program. The program and other information on the conference, including registration, locations, and accommodation, will become available on this page in late June. For information please contact verdi.institute@nyu.edu.
