Tommaso Sabbatini is a music historian specializing in nineteenth-century French theatre. He is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bristol and McGill University; his research has been supported by the French Government, the American Musicological Society, and the British Academy. He has two books forthcoming in 2024, a monograph on Parisian féerie at the fin de siècle and an edition of the Opéra-Comique production book from the French première of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca. His current research project reexamines the fin-de-siècle repertoires claimed as part of the French operetta tradition and the invention of such  a tradition.
