Description
UW-Madison Lecturer Erin Brooks will present a paper that discusses issues of "cultural transfer" in Puccini's Tosca, particularly the relationship between the opera and it's predecessor, Victorien Sardou's play "La Tosca" and its lead actress, Sarah Bernhardt. Ultimately, the talk will look beyond La Tosca/ Tosca to a larger analysis of cultural transfers by individual artists and between drama, incidental music, and opera.
