  • ‘A World Coming Back’: Operetta on Early Italian Television

    Open AccessEmanuele SeniciARTICLECambridge Opera Journal2024

    Between October 1954 and May 1955 RAI, the Italian public broadcaster, transmitted its first operetta season on television, promoted by Radiocorriere , the RAI house weekly, in terms of ‘a world coming back’. Yet this comeback did not have the lasting impact that was evidently desired: Italian television would never again pay such close attention to operetta, and the 1954–5 ‘operetta season’ remains an intriguing one-off. This neglected encounter…

    Emanuele SeniciARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2017

  • Delirious Hopes: Napoleonic Milan and the Rise of Modern Italian Operatic Criticism

    Open AccessEmanuele SeniciARTICLECambridge Opera Journal2015References: 4

    This article explores the relationship between politics, society and culture in Napoleonic Milan (1796–1814) on the one hand, and opera reviews published in the city’s periodical press at the time on the other. This relationship is worth discussing for two reasons: first, Milan under French rule constituted the earliest, embryonic instance of the modern city in Italy; second, it was there that for the first time in Italy operatic criticism shifte…

  • An atrocious indifference’: Rossini's operas and the politics of musical representation in early-nineteenth-century Italy

    Emanuele SeniciARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2012References: 2

    This article explores the potential connection between the politics of operatic representation and politics in the more common and wider sense of the word. It does so by focusing on Gioachino Rossini's Italian operas, whose popularity was enormous between the 1810s and the 1830s. These were also crucial decades for the formation of an Italian nationalist discourse, to which opera is usually thought to have made a substantial contribution. The nat…

  • Opera Production and Its Resources

    Open AccessEmanuele Senici, Lorenzo Bianconi et al.ARTICLENotes1999

    This study investigates the entire Italian operatic tradition, approaching opera not only as a distinctive musical genre but also as a form of extravagant theatre and as a complex social phenomenon. The text traces the social, economic and artistic history of the production of opera from its origins around 1600 to contemporary stagings. Although it has always been a deficit-producing enterprise, opera has maintained unchallenged pre-eminence in t…
