Coordinated by Gianmario Borio and Anna Tedesco, this seminar is the first stage of a research\u00a0project stemming from discussions at a conference on \u201cMonteverdi\u2019s Venetian Works\u201d, jointly held by the Institute of Music and the Institute of Theatre and Opera in 2016. Starting from\u00a0Gian Francesco Malipiero\u2019s editions, a broad development can be reconstructed by examining\u00a0stage productions of Monteverdi\u2019s works in 1930s and 1940s. The reception of Monteverdi\u00a0among Italian composers in the second half of the 20th century was widespread and significant.
\nFor numerous composers (from Luciano Berio to Sylvano Bussotti, Niccol\u00f2 Castiglioni, Luigi\u00a0Dallapiccola, Domenico Guaccero, Egisto Macchi, Bruno Maderna, Giacomo Manzoni, Luigi\u00a0Nono and Fausto Razzi), Monteverdi\u2019s works were an important reference point in reflecting\u00a0on how to set poetic texts to music and in describing avant-garde music for theatre. Transcriptions\u00a0made by several Italian composers will be a special focus of interest during the seminar.
\nParticipants include Angela Carone, Michele Chiappini, Angela Ida De Benedictis, Mila De\u00a0Santis, Ilaria Grippaudo, Federico Lazzaro and Francisco Rocca. The seminar will end with a\u00a0concert by the mdi ensemble at the Squero Auditorium.<\/p>\n
