General Background:
Ted Emery specializes in the Italian eighteenth century, with particular interests in opera, theatre, and autobiography. He is the author of a monograph, "Goldoni As Librettist: Theatrical Reform and the drammi giocosi per musica" (Peter Lang, 1991) and with Albert Bermel has published a volume of plays by Carlo Gozzi, "Five Tales for the Theatre" (University of Chicago Press, 1989). These translations have appeared widely in professional performances in regional theatres, off-Broadway, and in a Broadway production of "The Green Bird" directed by Julie Taymor. Emery has published articles on Goldoni, Gozzi, Pietro Chiari, and Giacomo Casanova, and is currently working on a book on Casanova's "Histoire de ma vie." He has appeared as commentator on Casanova on the A&E Network's "Biography" program, and on a History Channel special, "The History of Sex."
