| Abstract: | This paper analyses the transformation of Italian opera houses from public institutions to private foundations. This reform was imposed by legislation calling for a more managerial approach, incl. the introduction of private capital. This paper, focusing on the rhetorical nature of management, examines the results of this change, both at an aggregate level and with reference to one of Italy's 13 national opera houses, the municipal theatre of Bologna. The findings show among others that the results have been very modest and have not included the introduction of managerial practices. |
