Book Description
Opera has always been a vital and complex mixture of commercial and aesthetic concerns, of bourgeois politics and elite privilege. In its long heyday in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it came to occupy a special place not only among the arts but in urban planning, too this is, perhaps surprisingly, often still the case. The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon examines how opera has become the concrete edifice it was never meant to be, by tracing its evolution from a market entirely driven by novelty to one of the most canonic art forms still in existence. Throughout the book, a lively assembly of musicologists, historians, and industry professionals tackle key questions of opera's past, present, and future. Why did its canon evolve so differently from that of concert music? Why do its top ten titles, all more than a century old, now account for nearly a quarter of all performances worldwide? Why is this system of production becoming still more top-heavy, even while the repertory seemingly expands, notably to include early music? Topics range from the seventeenth century to the present day, from Russia to England and continental Europe to the Americas. To reflect the contested nature of many of them, each is addressed in paired chapters. These complement each other in different ways: by treating the same geographical location in different periods, by providing different national or regional perspectives on the same period, or by thinking through similar conceptual issues in contrasting or changing contexts. Posing its questions in fresh, provocative terms, The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon challenges scholarly assumptions in music and cultural history, and reinvigorates the dialogue with an industry that is, despite everything, still growing.

Book Description
Con le immagini della nebbia che tutto avvolge e impedisce di scorgere oggetti e luoghi si apre il racconto di Emanuela Calura. La descrizione dimostra che questo fenomeno atmosferico, assai diffuso nelle zone del ferrarese, ci permette di spaziare con il pensiero, di fantasticare, creando una dimensione onirica che ci fa evadere dalla realtà. [...] Prendendo spunto da una visuale che nasconde contorni e connotati precisi, sei amici si ritrovano, dopo tanti anni, ad organizzare una gita in barca da Pontelagoscuro al Pontino. La nebbia diviene metafora di vita perché suscita il desiderio di superare una condizione contingente per incentivare il pensiero, la memoria rievocando un passato che li accomuna. In this short story by Emanuela Calura fog seems to be everywhere wrapping people, objects and places, changing perspectives on life as well as people’s line of sight. In spite of this cloaking fog so typical of Ferrara’s plain suburbs, people learn how to look beyond and concoct a life so far away from the experiences they go through in their town. [...] Starting from this need to go beyond, six friends meet after many years and plan to go from Pontelagoscuro to Il Pontino by boat. Fog is much more than a symbol, it is an everchanging condition which stimulates the need for a change, it is thought-provoking and it helps their memory to go back to the childhood they had spent together in those places.
