In 2025, we commemorate the 300th anniversary of the death of Alessandro Scarlatti, widely recognized as the founder of the Neapolitan school and a key figure in establishing the structural standards of \u201cclassical opera.\u201d Yet, the full scope and significance of his life and works remain subjects for further scholarly exploration.<\/p>\n
This symposium offers a comprehensive overview of Scarlatti\u2019s operatic career from 1679 to 1721. We begin with his first opera, premiered in Rome in 1679, and continue through his middle period masterpiece Pirro e Demetrio (1694)\u2014the source of the well-known Italian art song collection Le violette. Through analyses of works performed in Venice and Naples during his middle and late periods, we aim to illuminate Scarlatti\u2019s creative output from multiple perspectives. Furthermore, we will examine how his music was received in England, the German-speaking world, and Russia.<\/p>\n
