Vincenzo Bellini on Stage and Screen, 1935-2020 shows how musicological lucidity and theatrical imagination can fruitfully go hand in hand. Bellini’s three best-known operas, La Sonnambula, Norma and I Puritani, are re-interpreted in light of contemporary aesthetics. This book makes it clear that aesthetic practice can not only open up new paths toward an operatic work, but also take us deep into it, which means that it is capable of transforming it from the inside out. * Sergio Morabito, Opera Director and Head Dramaturg, Vienna State Opera * This innovative new book explores in compelling detail how the figure of Bellini has fared in our age of “remediation.” As the editors make clear, their ambition, powerfully realized, is to move beyond the usual confines of “opera reception”: to embrace a more fluid and challenging notion of how operatic works from the past might find new meanings in the ever-changing visual environments of the last century. * Roger Parker, Professor of Music, Emeritus, King’s College London, UK *
