Il recupero della Sala della Niobe nella Galleria degli Uffizi, che qui si espone in un volume monografico, rappresenta il punto d'arrivo di un percorso che ha già superato i due secoli. L'architetto di questa sala fu Gaspero Maria Paoletti. La configurazione originale, in cui il celeberrimo gruppo marmoreo di Niobe con i Niobidi saettati e morenti proveniente da Villa Medici a Roma fu installato in contiguità e dialogo con maestose tele seicentesche, era stata stabilita nel 1781-1782, mentre per impulso di Pietro Leopoldo si attuava un riallestimento complessivo dell'intera Galleria. Furono quelli anni in cui l'arrivo a Firenze del patrimonio archeologico di Villa Medici richiese inserimenti e aggiustamenti nelle Gallerie granducali, così come nei giardini di Boboli e delle ville medicee. Riportare all'aspetto settecentesco la Sala della Niobe, provata dall'attentato del 1993 dopo che già erano intervenute pesanti alterazioni, ha richiesto chiarezza di visione, determinazione tenace e impegno di risorse umane e finanziarie.

In Theatre in Ancient Greek Society the author examines the social setting and function of ancient Greek theatre through the thousand years of its performance history. Instead of using written sources, which were intended only for a small, educated section of the population, he draws most of his evidence from a wide range of archaeological material - from cheap, mass-produced vases and figurines to elegant silverware produced for the dining tables of the wealthy. This is the first study examining the function and impact of the theatre in ancient Greek society by employing an archaeological approach.

Opera was invented at the end of the sixteenth century in imitation of the supposed style of delivery of ancient Greek tragedy, and, since then, operas based on Greek drama have been among the most important in the repertoire. This collection of essays by leading authorities in the fields of Classics, Musicology, Dance Studies, English Literature, Modern Languages, and Theatre Studies provides an exceptionally wide-ranging and detailed overview of the relationship between the two genres. Since tragedies have played a much larger part than comedies in this branch of operatic history, the volume mostly concentrates on the tragic repertoire, but a chapter on musical versions of Aristophanes' Lysistrata is included, as well as discussions of incidental music, a very important part of the musical reception of ancient drama, from Andrea Gabrieli in 1585 to Harrison Birtwistle and Judith Weir in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
