Abstract
L’intervento si propone di interpretare il significato del mito di Orfeo ed Euridice tra teatro e musica in Italia negli anni che vanno dal tardo Rinascimento al Barocco delle origini, con accenni ai problemi relativi alla definizione dei generi e alla conseguente tradizione testuale. Siccome il teatro profano in volgare e il melodramma erano una novita, non e azzardato concludere che il mito di Orfeo ed Euridice intendeva celebrare la potenza del teatro e della musica appena risorti. Un paragrafo e poi dedicato ai complessi rapporti tra il libretto dell’Euridice di Ottavio Rinuccini e le due partiture (di Iacopo Peri e Giulio Caccini).
Abstract (in English)
This paper aims to uncover the meaning of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in Italian theatre plays and operas from the Late Reinassance to the Early Baroque, especially regarding the definition of genre and the transmission of such texts. Since vernacular secular theatre and opera were a novelty, it is not unreasonable to infer that the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was intended as a means to celebrate the power of theatre and music flourishing again. One section is devoted to the complex relationship between the libretto of Ottavio Rinuccini’s Euridice and the two musical scores (by Iacopo Peri and Giulio Caccini).
