<p>In addition to virtual exhibits on display throughout the week, there will be an open house with Herbert Lachmayer, director of the Da Ponte Institute on Wednesday, 1/17 from 3-5 pm.</p>
<p>Herbert Lachmayer will also be lecturing on "Virtuality, Virtuosity: Mozart: Staging Knowledge for the 21st Century" on Thursday, 1/18 at noon, followed by a discussion with Da Ponte Institute representatives.</p>
<p>The Da Ponte Institute was founded in 2000 by Herbert Lachmayer as an international research association with the aim of setting up an institutional framework structure for long-term projects. The institute's fields of research draw on essential aspects in the life of the man after whom it is named: in the biography of Lorenzo da Ponte the themes of libretto, Don Juan and collecting overlap and exert a reciprocal influence on one another. This thematic 'elective affinity' also characterises the central fields of research of the Da Ponte Institute: librettology, research on the Don Juan theme and the history of collecting. The focus of research is the opera of the 17th and 18th centuries and its cultural and socio-historical context. The Da Ponte Institute aims to generate new impulses as a research institution as well as a platform for cross-linking and as a partner for consultation in questions of artistic praxis.</p>
