    Building The Beggar¿s Opera Website 1.0: A Digital Humanities Project for Scholars, Students, Teachers, and Performers
    March 18, 2024 | 4:15 - 5:30 pm CST | Dr. Steve Newman (Temple University)
    In this presentation, faculty and librarians for Temple University will discuss how and why they are constructing a site based around The Beggar¿s Opera (1728), the first English musical, the model for The Threepenny Opera and many other adaptations, and one of the most influential texts from the English eighteenth century. They will discuss their editorial decisions for the music and text; how they encoded the text in TEI- and MEI-XML (Text and Music Encoding Initiative eXtensible Markup Language) and the challenges in coordinating the two; and their plans for the site in the future. We look forward to questions and feedback!
