In her research, Cristina Scuderi is currently working intensively on Giuseppe Tartini, on whose work she has organized an international conference at the University of Graz in December 2023. Her current research project will use the example of Tartini's "School of Nations" (1728) to investigate how musical skills were transferred from teacher to pupil in the 18th century. Prior to this, she focused on the reconstruction of the production system of opera in the eastern Adriatic theaters in the period from 1861 to 1918, with particular attention to the network between impresari, theater directors, singers, musicians and editors.
