In one sense merely an adaptation of the technology of television and home video, opera cinecasts also arguably represent something more far-reaching: the emergence and consolidation of a new hybrid cultural form situated somewhere between opera, television, and cinema. That this hybrid form recasts and reframes opera’s inherent intermediality in light of new technologies and new forms of consumption surely demands the attention of opera studies. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, the field has been slow to respond. More than a decade since the emergence of cinecasting, research in the field remains embryonic and key questions have yet to be explored. Co-edited by Prof Christopher Morris and Dr Joseph Attard, "Opera at the Multiplex" seeks to address some of these questions and fill some of these research gaps.
