Il flauto magico e il diamante rosa : Considerazioni su quanto intercorre tra 'Die Zauberflöte' di Mozart-Schikaneder e 'Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs' di Raimund
Piemonti, Anita
1998
Abstract
Between the staging of 'Die Zauberflöte' by Mozart-Schikaneder and 'Der Diamant des Geisteskönigs' by Raimund a period of 33 years passed. According to the author, the permanence of the story presented by the plays could become exemplary and therefore worthy of study as far as its unchanging elements and its variables are concerned. Following the similarities in the 'bildung' of the two protagonists (Tamino in 'Zauberflöte' and Edouard in 'Der Diamant') and signalling the points in which their paths differ, the author tries to answer the question that stands at the core of her reflections: How could the same fabula of three decades previously (after years which saw ‘everything happen’, from the diffusion of the ideas of the French Revolution, to the Napoleonic Wars, the re-definitions of the European social and political situation at the Vienna Congress, the death of Napoleon and the Restoration) be performed again exactly during the Restoration, and another time on the stage of an out-of-town theatre of the Capital of the Empire?
