Venetian playwright and pioneer of modern theatre Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793) led a ‘double life’ as a librettist, authoring nearly as many libretti as comedies- libretti which, born from the same mind and the same hand that brought forth his famous, and famously controversial, overhaul of the practices of comic theatre, could not
but push the limits of the standing tradition to open a new chapter in opera history. Goldoni became one of the first to give shape to the dramma giocoso per musica, an innovative, realistic, and enduring new genre with intimate connections to prose comedy that met with overwhelming international success, becoming the foundation for the works of future generations, including W. A. Mozart and his Italian librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. Perhaps because of his stature and influence as a comic playwright, Goldoni has rarely been considered as an innovator in the musical sphere. This study aims to shed new light on his primary role in the evolution of Classical opera, and on the legacy of his innovations in the European musical tradition.

In academic research, princely summer residences are regarded as places of longing, where rulers sought to realize their dream of an earthly paradise and escape the constraints of courtly ceremonial. Traditionally, this research has been based in history of art. What music was made in the summer residences, and how it might have differed from that of the main residence, has not yet been systematically studied. The conference made a contribution to this by examining the musical life at selected European summer residences of the eighteenth century and relating it to one another. The individual contributions present the respective situations of the cultivation of music at selected summer residences in the German-speaking countries as well as in Italy, Spain, England, Sweden and Russia. Fürstliche Sommerresidenzen gelten in der Forschung als Sehnsuchtsorte, an denen die Herrscher ihren Traum vom irdischen Paradies zu verwirklichen und den Zwängen des höfischen Zeremoniells zu entfliehen suchten. Traditionell ist diese Forschung in den Kunstwissenschaften angesiedelt. Welche Musik in den Sommerresidenzen gemacht wurde, und wie sich diese möglicherweise von der der jeweiligen Hauptresidenz unterschied, ist bisher noch nicht systematisch untersucht worden. Hierzu hat die Tagung einen Beitrag geleistet, indem sie das Musikleben an ausgewählten europäischen Sommerresidenzen des 18. Jahrhunderts untersuchte und miteinander in Beziehung setzte. Die einzelnen Beiträge stellen die jeweiligen Situationen der Musikpflege an ausgewählten Sommerresidenzen im deutschsprachigen Raum sowie in Italien, Spanien, England, Schweden und Russland dar.

Die Etablierung der Opera buffa veränderte die Opernlandschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich. Sie stellte einen inhaltlichen Kontrapunkt zur höfisch geprägten Opera seria dar und löste diese zunehmend in den Spielplänen ab. Wie aber ging die europaweite Verbreitung der komischen italienischen Oper vor sich? Wo konnte sie sich rascher etablieren und wer waren die zentralen Akteurinnen und Akteure? Welche Rolle spielten mobile Operntruppen und wie verhielten sich die Höfe zu dem neuen Genre? Erstmals nehmen die Autorinnen in einer systematischen Analyse der Opera buffa in Europa Migration, Mobilität, Netzwerke und Transformationsprozesse zwischen 1740 und 1765 in den Blick.Mit einem Gastbeitrag von Tom Brökel und Heike Brökel.
