The Autumn of Italian Opera
The first full-length study of the last great era of Italian opera
European Police Forces and Law Enforcement in the First World War
This book offers a global history of civilian, military and gendarmerie-style policing around the First World War. Whilst many aspects of the Great War have been revisited in light of the centenary, and in spite of the recent growth of modern policing history, the role and fate of police forces in the conflict has been largely forgotten. Yet the war affected all European and extra-European police forces. Despite their diversity, all were confronted with transnational factors and forms of disorder, and suffered generally from mass-conscription. During the conflict, societies and states were faced with a crisis situation of unprecedented magnitude with mass mechanised killing on the battle fie...
Global Rome
Delving into topics from immigration to sustainability, this is “an original, rich, and important contribution to the study of Rome” (H-Italy). Is twenty-first-century Rome a global city? Is it part of Europe’s core or periphery? This volume examines the “real city” beyond Rome’s historical center, exploring the diversity and challenges of life in neighborhoods affected by immigration, neoliberalism, formal urban planning, and grassroots social movements. The contributors engage with themes of contemporary urban studies—the global city, the self-made city, alternative modernities, capital cities and nations, urban change from below, and sustainability. Global Rome serves as a provocative introduction to the Eternal City and makes an original contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship.

TENORISSIMO
Der Tenor Enrico Caruso (1873–1921) war viel mehr als ein bedeutender Sänger des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, der allenfalls ein lohnender Gegenstand gesangshistorischer Forschung wäre. Wie kein anderer Vertreter seiner Kunst hat Caruso, dessen 150. Geburtstag am 25. Februar 2023 gefeiert wird, den Operngesang mehrerer Generationen geprägt. Schon Carusos Zeitgenossen sprachen und schrieben über ihn in Superlativen. Nicht zuletzt durch die Medien seiner Zeit, die Schallplatte, die öffentliche Berichterstattung in Zeitungen und Illustrierten sowie durch den Film wurde Caruso zum Urbild des "Tenorissimo" und damit zu einer Referenz für viele große Tenöre, die ihm nachfolgten, von Beniami...

A Short History of Opera
"The fourth edition incorporates new scholarship that traces the most important developments in the evolution of musical drama. After surveying anticipations of the operatic form in the lyric theater of the Greeks, medieval dramatic music, and other forerunners, the book reveals the genre's beginnings in the seventeenth century and follows its progress to the present day."--Jacket.
Pietro Mascagni and His Operas
Just twenty-six when the electrifying premiere of his Cavalleria Rusticana at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome catapulted the impoverished musician into sudden fame and fortune, Pietro Mascagni (1863-1945) went on to write fifteen more operas, including L'Amico Fritz, Guglielmo Ratcliff, Iris, Parisina, and Il Piccolo Marat. With privileged access to extensive primary sources, including Mascagni's 4,200 letters to Anna Lolli, his mistress for more than three decades, author Alan Mallach provides a compelling portrait of a flamboyant, combative, and emotional man who was passionately devoted to the Italian opera tradition and committed to innovation in musical language and dramatic form. Deftly co...
