About the Event
19th-century opera was often broken down into two models: German and Italian. Are there still vestiges of those two styles in the world of contemporary opera? If so, does being Italian or Italian-American influence how composers write and how singers and instrumentalists perform current works, even if the themes and subjects of current works may not be Italian? What are the traditions that endure over time and across great distances that sustain an "Italian sound and sensibility?"
