Opera translation

This annotated bibliography is a product of our long-standing interest in
opera translation and media accessibility. It covers earlier works in the field
from musicology, as well as the later works from within translation studies;
both reflect the multifarious nature of opera, which requires examination
from a variety of perspectives. The bibliography includes entries in English,
German, French, Italian and Spanish, because these are the languages we are
familiar with; nevertheless, many of the entries offer examples also from other
language pairs. We include works of specialists in the field, such as Ronnie
Apter, Mark Herman, Klaus Kaindl, Dinda Gorlée, Lucile Desblache and
Marta Mateo, but we also review articles which have been overlooked yet
are still significant in the realm of opera and its translation, such as those by
W.H Auden and Sigmund Spaeth. Although the bibliography cannot lay claim
to comprehensiveness, we believe that the selection offered will be useful to
future researchers in the field.
