Abstract
On the model of other events that focus on a specific area of study (the Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference, the Baroque Music Conference etc.), the Transnational Opera Studies Conference will be a periodic meeting devoted to opera, of all periods and in all aspects, as an opportunity for scholars from different countries to come together, and to foster interest in opera studies in the younger generation of musicologists. The location of the conference will change from one meeting to the next, in order to encourage the presence of scholars from different host countries, and to widen the pool of participants. The papers can be either given in English or in the language of the country in which the conference will take place. All are invited to take part, regardless of professional status. As with other events of this kind, participants and spectators will be required to pay for themselves; registration fees and other costs, however, will be kept as low as possible. The name of the conference is designed as an acronym: T ransnational O pera S tudies C onference A t with the final word leading to the host city. The first Transnational Opera Studies Conference is kindly hosted by the University of Bologna, at the Dipartimento delle Arti (30 June - 2 July 2015): its name is therefore tosc@bologna.2015.
