Welcome!
Welcome
to the home page of the
American Institute for Verdi Studies, one of the world's leading
research
centers for the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi. Inaugurated at
New York University in 1976, the AIVS promotes
conferences, lectures, performances, and publications; it publishes the
Verdi Forum,
the only English-language journal devoted to Verdi; it consults
with
leading performers and operatic institutions; and it provides support
for a variety of scholarly endeavors and projects, including the
ongoing publication of the Works
of Giuseppe Verdi in critical edition (University of Chicago Press
and Ricordi).
The
AIVS
is also known for its Archive, which houses
the largest
collections of
microfilmed Verdi materials in the world. Students, scholars and
performers
from around the world visit the AIVS Archive to access rare manuscript
and printed scores, thousands of librettos, vast amounts of
correspondence and archival records, stage and costume designs, and
19th-century periodicals. The AIVS Archive is located in the Elmer
Holmes Bobst
Library at New York University.
