>"Shakespeare + Opera:
>  Found in Translation?"
>
>November 6-7, 2011
>
>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?
>
>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.
