</font><font face="Garamond" size=5><b>“Shakespeare + Opera:<br>
Found in Translation?” <br>
</font><font face="Garamond" size=2> <br>
</font><font face="Garamond">November 6-7, 2011<br>
</font><font face="Garamond" size=2> <br>
</b></font><font face="Garamond">Over 200 operas have been based on
Shakespeare’s plays. Much is admittedly lost in translation. But what is
“found” in translation? What does opera tap, amplify, and liberate in
Shakespeare’s plays? Indeed, is there an aspect of the operatic already
in Shakespeare, and how is it captured and released in operatic
treatments? <br>
<br>
This conference, convened by Kenneth Reinhard and Lowell Gallagher, UCLA,
and Julia Lupton, UC Irvine, considers these questions. Sponsored by the
UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Friends of English, the
UCLA Program in Voice and Opera, and LA Opera’s Domingo-Thornton Young
Artists.<br>
