Karina Zybina serves as a Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Musicology, hosting the Swedish Research Council-funded COIN project (Complete Incompleteness: The posthumous histories of Mozart's opera fragments) since July 2023. She concurrently teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses at Salzburg University while engaging in public scholarship through writing and event organization.
Her research centers on reception studies with specialized focus on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera fragments, examining their posthumous transformations through archival exploration and performance practice. Working across theatre and opera studies, librettology, migration studies, performance studies, artistic research, and soundscape studies, she analyzes how incomplete musical works gain new meanings across historical and cultural contexts. Her methodology uniquely bridges academic analysis with artistic creation, bringing forgotten completions to contemporary audiences.
Dr. Zybina's 2020-2024 publications reveal consistent thematic threads: Mozart-related reception history (particularly opera fragments and liturgical works), cross-cultural migration of musical practices, and early recording industry studies. Her work demonstrates interdisciplinary connections between musicology, cultural history, and performance theory, with strong emphasis on Austrian musical traditions and Russian cultural contexts. Key publications include analyses of Salzburg's 1936 L'oca del Cairo reconstruction, Leopold Mozart's liturgical interpretations, and early 20th-century Russian recording business.
She currently leads the COIN project funded by the Swedish Research Council, which supports her archival research and performance-based investigations. While specific grant details aren't disclosed, this funding enables international collaboration and artistic dissemination. Dr. Zybina actively shares knowledge through university teaching, public workshops (including planned 2024 Uppsala event on Mozart-era opera), YouTube course promotions, and non-academic writing for music enthusiasts, though formal student supervision isn't detailed in available materials.
