Ottoman Empire and European Theatre. Part II: Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) & Friends - from Sultan Mahmud I to Sultan Mahmud II
Don Juan Archiv Wien invites you to submit your abstracts and participate in a series of symposia entitled "Ottoman Empire and European Theatre" to share your achievements in the fields of theatre, cultural, and performance studies. After the inaugural conferences in 2008, "The Age of Sultan Selim III and Mozart (1756-1808)" (see, www.donjuanarchiv. at/symposia. hml ), the 2009 symposia will focus on W.
A. Mozart's friend Joseph Haydn and commemorate the 200th anniversary of his death in Vienna on May 31, 1809. The historical importance of the Ottoman Empire's presence in Europe is highlighted by its frequent appearance in theatre. The aim of the symposia is to explore on the one hand, the various performative expressions of eighteenth-century Turkish / Ottoman culture and diplomacy on European theatre stages, and on the other hand, the appearance of European theatre and opera in the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman attitude towards Europe.
