Dr?Candida?Mantica
Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr Candida Mantica is a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 and the Managing Editor of the Edizione critica delle opere di Vincenzo Bellini (Casa Ricordi).
Following my PhD at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 (2013), I returned here as a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in 2019, working on a research project entitled DiCrEd (Towards A Digital Critical Edition of The Works of Giuseppe Verdi), which involves the completion of the first critical edition of the 1865 version of Verdi’s Macbeth in French, as well as the development of a digital critical edition of its piano-vocal score, in collaboration with the University of Paderborn. My edition of Macbeth (The Works of Giuseppe Verdi, University of Chicago Press and Casa Ricordi) has been used at the latest Festival Verdi (Parma, 2020), where the opera received its modern premiere in French, obtaining the prestigious “Premio Abbiati” (2020). I also serve as the Managing Editor of the?Edizione critica delle opere di Vincenzo Bellini?(Milan, Casa Ricordi), for which I am preparing the critical edition of?Adelson e Salvini.
I have published my work in numerous musicological journals and volumes including Opera Quarterly, Music and Letters, Il Saggiatore musicale, Oxford Bibliographies, The Cambridge Verdi Encyclopedia, Bollettino di studi belliniani, Revue Belge de Musicologie, Bollettino del Centro rossiniano di studi, and others. The edition of Gaetano Donizetti’s?L’Ange de Nisida? that I completed for Opera Rara led to the opera’s world premiere in a concert performance (London, Royal Opera House, 2018), and to its first staged presentation (Bergamo, Donizetti Opera, 2019). The latter production has been awarded the “Premio Abbiati” (2019). I regularly deliver papers at leading international conferences, and collaborate with prominent opera companies and festivals, including the Royal Opera House, the Glyndebourne Festival, the Welsh National Opera, the Donizetti Opera Festival, the Festival Verdi, the ABAO Bilbao Opera, and others. As an Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at Maynooth University, in 2018 I organized a Symposium on self-borrowings in nineteenth-century opera, whose selected proceedings will merge into a monographic issue of Nineteenth-Century Music Review that I am currently editing.
After studying voice at the Conservatorio di Musica Francesco Cilea (Reggio Calabria), I earned my Bachelor’s (2005) and Master’s (2007) degrees in Musicology from the University of Cremona and went on to receive my PhD in Music from the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 (2013), within the AHRC-funded ‘FICTOS (Franco-Italian Cultural Transfer Opera and Song)’ project, co-directed by Prof. Mark Everist and Prof. Francesco Izzo. Subsequently I was Research Fellow at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, within the ‘OPERA – Spectrum of European Music Theatre in Individual Editions’ project led by Prof. Thomas Betzwieser (2014–2016), and Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at Maynooth University (2016–2018). I have taught at the University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 (2009–2012) and at the Goethe University (2015–2016).
