The speaker
Anna Giust
teaches Russian language and literature at the University of Verona. In the field of music, she conducts research on the Russian opera repertoire as a vehicle for interpreting the cultural history of that country in relation to the evolution of European culture. At the same time, she is interested in the musical relations between Europe and Russia, in particular the phenomenon of the reception of Italian and French opera, and the mobility of artists to and from Russia. She is the author of several articles on Russian musical theatre from the 18th to the 21st century, and of three monographs: Ivan Susanin by Catterino Cavos, Un’opera russa prima dell’Opera russa (EDT-De Sono Tesi, Turin 2011), Cercando l’opera russa, La formazione di una coscienza nazionale nel teatro musicale del Settecento (Feltrinelli-Amici della Scala, Milan 2014), and La forza dell’amore, dell’odio e del destino: Verdi e l’opera italiana in Russia (Istituto Nazionale di Studi Verdiani, Parma 2024). He also edited the critical edition of the opera Ivan Susanin by Catterino Cavos and Aleksandr Šachovskoj (SEdM, Rome 2024).
