GoldOpera: Carlo Goldoni and Europe’s New Opera Theatre

The project will study the evolution of Classical opera to shed light on the important innovations in musical theatre introduced by Venetian playwright and librettist Carlo Goldoni. The project ultimately aims to create the basis for the restoration, publication, and performance of historical operas that have vanished from the traditional repertoire, to bring to a larger public new knowledge of a form of art that had a global impact, and therefore a deeper understanding of our shared cultural heritage.
