Abstract:

This volume covers aspects of opera translation within the Western world and
in Asia, as well as some of opera’s many travels between continents,
countries, languages and cultures—and also between genres and media. The
concept of ‘adaptation’ is a thread running through the sixteen contributions,
which encompass a variety of composers, operas, periods and national
traditions. Sung translation, libretto translation, surtitling, subtitling are
discussed from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives.
Exploration of aspects such as the relationship between language and music,
multimodality, intertextuality, cultural and linguistic transfer,
multilingualism, humour, identity and stereotype, political ideology, the
translator’s voice and the role of the audience is driven by a shared
motivation: a love of opera and of the beauty it has never ceased to provide
through the centuries, and admiration for the people who write, compose,
perform, direct, translate, or otherwise contribute to making the joy of opera
a part of our lives.
