Document:
Dr Valeria De Lucca is a Associate Professor in Music at the University of Southampton.
I am the coordinator of the Masters programme in Music and am responsible for Masters admissions for the academic year 2017/18. This means that I oversee our Masters students’ progress from admission to graduation, providing advice and support throughout their course of study at the University of Southampton. At undergraduate level I teach the core first-year modules in music history, as well as modules in Baroque opera and the American musical. In my lectures I always aim to discuss how social, political and cultural contexts influence the ways in which music is produced and consumed. To this end I favour an interdisciplinary approach, in which a musical work is considered in dialogue with the visual arts, literature and other forms of media.
My teaching reflects my methods and approaches to research. My main areas of interest are opera and musical theatre. I have worked extensively on seventeenth-century music and culture, patronage and funding of opera, the role that women played in shaping the cultural life of seventeenth-century Rome, and the staging and visual aspects of the operatic performance. In particular, I recently became interested in stage costumes and the multiplicity of meanings and functions they fulfilled in opera and musical theatre from the late Renaissance to 1900. I regularly deliver papers, give pre-performance lectures and write programme notes on these subjects, and I have recently featured in a BBC 2 documentary on the premiere of Mozart’s Don Giovanni in Prague in 1787.
After I completed my MA and PhD at Princeton University, I held an Andrew W. Mellon/American Council of Learned Societies Early Career Fellowship at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge, and a Fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. I joined the Department of Music at the University of Southampton in 2009 as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, and have been a lecturer here since 2011.
My main areas of interest are opera and musical theatre. I have worked extensively on seventeenth-century opera and society, looking in particular at the ways in which class and gender influenced the patronage of musical entertainments in seventeenth-century Italy.
One of my current projects, a book entitled The Politics of Princely Entertainment: The Patronage of Music and Theatre of Lorenzo Onofrio and Maria Mancini Colonna (1659–1689), looks at music and theatrical entertainments as political tools through which members of the Roman aristocracy enhanced their social and political agendas. The book also addresses questions about the circulation of musical scores, and the musicians, singers and composers across the worlds of the court and the public theatre, examining the ways in which diverse socio-political and cultural milieu shaped the production of opera and, ultimately, the work itself. Other projects related to seventeenth-century music and culture include the study of stage costumes in early modern opera, and a study that stems from the “detective” work I conducted at the Metropolitan Music of Art, New York, during the academic year 2012/13 to identify the provenance of a 400-year-old harpsichord, now housed in the Met collection of musical instruments.
My work has appeared in several volumes and musicological journals including The Oxford Handbook of Opera, Rivista italiana di musicologia, Renaissance Studies, The Journal of Musicology, Early Music and the Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music. My article ‘Dressed to Impress: The Costumes for Antonio Cesti’s Orontea in Rome (1661)’ received the J.M. Thomson Prize for best article by an early career scholar to appear in Early Music in 2013. I am the editor of Fashioning Opera and Musical Theatre: Stage Costumes in Europe from the Late Renaissance to 1900, which collects the results of a conference I organised in the spring of 2012 in collaboration with the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice.
