Vincenzo Bellini and France: History, Performance and Reception of His Work

November 5-6, 2001

Paris, France

History

Host: Université de Paris - Sorbonne
Email: colloque.bellini@libero.it

Description:
The life and works of Vincenzo Bellini (Catania, 1801 - Puteaux, 1835) are divided between an initial Italian phase and the Parisian consecration which climaxes with the premiere of I Puritani at the Théâtre Italien. We extend an invitation to participate to all of our musicologist colleagues interested by matters pertaining to the composer's Parisian sojourn, ultimate musical creations and death, but also to relationships with the musical milieu, influences of French opera or the "silence" of Italian musicians in France. The studies may, for instance, concern the relationship of Bellini's work with France (literary sources for the librettos, the two versions of I Puritani, the non-theatrical production), his reception on operatic stages and in the press, musical settings of Bellini themes and literary texts. In a more general way the contributions may further highlight the relationships among Sicilians and the French in the first half of the 19th century.

The working languages will be French, English and Italian.
