Des relations souvent étroites ont été entretenues entre l’opéra et le cinéma. Ce livre s’en veut le témoignage. Grâce aux travaux d’une vingtaine de chercheurs, à la très riche documentation et à l’iconographie proposées par Enrico Giacovelli, à la fois spécialiste du cinéma et de la musique, "L’Opéra à l’écran" pourrait vite devenir un ouvrage incontournable aussi bien pour les cinéphiles que pour les mélomanes. Près de mille films cités, une cinquantaine décortiqués par des experts (critiques et artistes), une riche documentation illustrée de photogrammes non seulement des films analysés, mais aussi de nombreux autres : l’ensemble constitue une somme rarement éditée. Les liens entre opéra et cinéma s’y trouvent abordés suivant diverses approches, allant de l’adaptation d’opéras intégraux à des films d’inspiration opératique. Sans être exhaustif, le livre offre un large panorama sur deux arts qui conjuguent leurs spécificités pour donner naissance à des oeuvres singulières.

Domestic musical arrangements of opera provide a unique window on the world of nineteenth-century amateur music-making. These arrangements flourished in especially rich variety in early nineteenth-century Vienna. This study reveals ways in which the Viennese culture of musical arrangements opened up opportunities, especially for women, for connoisseurship, education, and sociability in the home, and extended the meanings and reach of public concert life. It takes a novel stance for musicology, prioritising musical arrangements over original compositions, and female amateurs' perspectives over those of composers, and asks: what cultural, musical, and social functions did opera arrangements serve in Vienna c.1790-1830? Multivalent musical analyses explore ways Viennese arrangers tailored large-scale operatic works to the demands and values of domestic consumers. Documentary analysis, using little-studied evidence of private and semi-private music-making, investigates the agency of musical amateurs and reinstates the central importance of women's roles.

Since 2006, leading opera companies have beamed their shows to thousands of cinema screens all over the world – live. 'Opera cinema' is the most successful marriage of this elaborate, esoteric art form and the silver screen. In the twenty-first century, more people watch opera on cinema screens than the stage. But what is different about watching Massenet at the multiplex, compared to a traditional stage performance? Is opera cinema a new, hybrid art form in its own right, or merely a new way of engaging with an old one? Is it bringing new opera fans into the fold? Is there a danger it could one day eclipse the stage altogether? This book deals with these questions by charting the history of opera transmissions, exploring how digital media changes our relationship with culture and inviting a group of 'opera virgins' to give their impressions on this developing cultural experience.
