This investigation begins in 1935, the hundredth anniversary of the composer's death and the year when his first biopic was released, and ends in 2020, when performance artist Marina Abramovic's 'opera project' \u003ci\u003e7 Deaths of Maria Callas\u003c\/i\u003e, whose final scene is accompanied by Bellini's famous aria 'Casta Diva,' was premiered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Part One, several recent productions of \u003ci\u003eLa sonnambula\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNorma\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eI Puritani\u003c\/i\u003e are discussed from different perspectives, but the common focus is on the possible meanings of these works for contemporary spectators. Part Two, centered on cinema, includes chapters on biopics of Bellini that make extensive use of his music, as well as on the presence of this music in soundtracks of films from the last half century. Part Three turns to other media or mixtures of stage and screen, and focuses on Bellini in sound and video art of the last few decades, on YouTube and its fandom, and on \u003ci\u003e7 Deaths of Maria Callas\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume offers an expansive view of the many ways in which Bellini's operas have been visualized and conceptualized over the past century, and of what they may have meant, and may still mean, for twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmilio Sala\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Musicology at the University of Milan, Italy.
