During the sabbatical year 2008-09 Bennett prepared an edition of the opera Hypermnestra by Ignaz Holzbauer; the edition will be published in Vienna as volumes 158-60 of the historical series Denkm?ler der Tonkunst in ?sterreich (Monuments of Austrian Music). With Indiana University’s Early Music Institute he co-produced performances of this opera at Wabash College and at IU in 2009.
