KPFA broadcast a radio adaptation of "Roman Fever" in September 1964, starring Pat Franklin and Shirley Medina, adapted and directed by Erik Bauersfeld.[8] Hugh Leonard's one-act adaptation of "Roman Fever" was first staged in Dublin in 1983.[9] Robert Ward's opera adaptation (with libretto by Roger Brunyate) premiered in 1993 at Duke University.[10] Hungarian composer Gyula Fekete's opera Roman Fever ("with additional lyrics by Lisa Radetski") premiered in 1996 at Budapest's Merlin Theatre. [11] Alan Stringer's "opera in one scene" premiered in 1996 at New York's Manhattan School of Music. Philip Hagemann's 1989 one act opera based on Wharton's story has been performed as recently as 2003 in New York at the Lincoln Center's Clark Studio.[12]

An extensive accounting of the story's adaptation history can be found by consulting the scholarship of Scott Marshall (1998),[13] Hermione Lee (2008),[14] and Daniel Hefko (2016).[15]
