In the next decade, the American Institute for Verdi Studies (AIVS) followed suit.
The largest by far was "Verdi 2001," jointly sponsored by the Istituto nazionale di studi verdiani, the American Institute for Verdi Studies, and Yale University.
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Verdi's birth in 2013, it appears that far fewer large-scale conferences are planned: only "Verdi's Third Century: Italian Opera Today," sponsored by the American Institute for Verdi Studies and New York University (New York City), and a shared program titled "The Staging of Verdi and Wagner Operas," sponsored by the Centro Studi opera omnia Luigi Boccherini (Pistoia, Italy), have been announced through the customary channels.
