"This volume covers aspects of opera translation within the Western world and in Asia, as well as some of opera's many travels between continents, countries, languages and cultures-and also between genres and media. The concept of 'adaptation' is a thread running through the sixteen contributions, which encompass a variety of composers, operas, periods and national traditions. Sung translation, libretto translation, surtitling, subtitling are discussed from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. Exploration of aspects such as the relationship between language and music, multimodality, intertextuality, cultural and linguistic transfer, multilingualism, humour, identity and stereotype, political ideology, the translator's voice and the role of the audience is driven by a shared motivation: a love of opera and of the beauty it has never ceased to provide through the centuries, and admiration for the people who write, compose, perform, direct, translate, or otherwise contribute to making the joy of opera a part of our lives"--

This book explores the intricate connections between contact languages and music, focusing on various sociocultural contexts, primarily in the Caribbean and Africa. It provides original case studies that examine how contact languages, particularly Creole, intersect with music to express cultural identity and authenticity. The volume highlights the role of music as a medium through which contact languages gain prestige and become cultural markers. It addresses theoretical and ideological perspectives on identity, race, and authenticity within musical practices. By analyzing these intersections, the book fills a research gap and contributes to understanding the dynamic relationship between language and music.
