Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Milan's 1906 Exposition and a celebrated revival of Verdi'sLa traviata(1853). An event of national and international importance, the Exposition was notable for its focus on Italy's global presence, and in particular Italy's relationship with Latin America. TheTraviataproduction, meanwhile, comprised the first Italian staging of Verdi's opera in period costume, performed at La Scala by a quintessentially modern, celebrity ensemble to mark the Exposition's opening. This article explores the parallels between the Exposition and the production, to investigate the complex, shifting position of Milan (and Italy) within the transatlantic cultural and operatic networks of the time; and more broadly, to examine the role of operatic staging in shaping understandings of global space within the mobile operatic canon of the early twentieth century.

海外意大利人：凡尔登悲剧与1906年米兰博览会

本文探讨了1906年米兰世博会与著名的《茶花女》（1853）复兴之间的关系。作为一项具有国家和国际重要性的活动，博览会以关注意大利的全球影响力，特别是意大利与拉丁美洲的关系而闻名。与此同时，《茶花女》的制作是威尔第歌剧在意大利的首次舞台演出，由一个典型的现代名人合奏团在斯卡拉歌剧院演出，以纪念博览会的开幕。本文探讨了博览会和制作之间的相似之处，以调查米兰（和意大利）在当时跨大西洋文化和歌剧网络中复杂而多变的地位；更广泛地说，在20世纪初的流动歌剧经典中，考察歌剧舞台在塑造对全球空间的理解方面的作用。
