The Rape of Lucretia: de heroína clásica a contralto contemporánea
Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la ópera The rape of Lucretia desde el prisma de la mitificación de Lucrecia, así como observar su evolución en las diferentes fuentes literarias de las que bebe esta obra. Para lograr este objetivo, queremos tratar de averiguar por qué Benjamin Britten, un compositor británico del siglo XX, decide escribir sobre Lucrecia, una mujer del siglo VI a.C. Además, analizaremos la evolución del tratamiento que distintos escritores han dado a este episodio en sus obras hasta llegar a la ópera de 1946. De ellas extraeremos detalles que nos ayudarán a determinar una serie de diferencias y similitudes entre la Lucrecia de unos y otros. Por último, prestaremos especial atención a uno de los elementos que más llama la atención de la ópera de Britten: la introducción de valores cristianos durante toda la narración.Downloads
