Outline of Final Research Achievements

I conducted research at the Institute for Theatre Studies of Free University Berlin, Germany and at the School of Music of Yale University, USA for one year. I could, therefore, collect informations on opera studies through the exchange with the colleagues there and gather material for this field. Furhtermmore, I attended conferences on opera studies in Ireland, England, USA and Italy. Through various lectures, I could investigate the latest trends of research in opera films. In addition, I carried out the investigations of the locations of opera films "Don Giovanni" and "Carmen in Italy and Spain. As concrete results of my research during 3 years there are oral presentations, papers, reports and a book. Furthermore, I was the leader of the "Socrate"-Project and made an investigation of opera-staging which will contribute to research in the direction of opera films.
