Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore how the components of the opera can be remediated and enhanced through augmented reality. To this end, a multidisciplinary approach is adopted that integrates studies in the areas of humanities, design technology and marketing and a framework is proposed that identifies the relevant components for the remediation of opera. Based on the framework and previous studies, the case of La Traviata is analyzed in its several declinations through early and new media to discuss the requirements for a meaningful remediation of opera and the strengths of augmented reality in this context. Based on previous research and the case analysis, it is argued that augmented reality can be a powerful medium for opera, enhancing and encompassing its multimodal structure and multiple experience dimensions.
