LIBRETTO: TERMINOLOGY, RESEARCH AND UNDERSTANDING IN RELATED FIELDS OF SCIENCE
Keywords:
libretto, opera libretto, terminology, typology, libretto as translation, syncretism of libretto and musicAbstract
As a phenomenon of musical theatre, libretto and its meaning in any of the formats of the musical theatre genre is often an underestimated field. Therefore, all issues related to the transferring of literary source material to musical theatre production is still not sufficiently researched. However, libretto is in a way the most changeable element of the opera genre and comprehensive research of it would enrich the historical context of opera and the understanding of the dramaturgy of the score.
Current research uncovers the perspective of opera as a result of a synthesis of several art forms, encouraging researchers to extend their research field. At the same time, from the musicologist’s point of view, the object of interest, more than a libretto itself, is its impact and signifies the different developmental stages of a production of musical theatre – during its creation, in relation to music and the staging process. The author of the article believes that raising the awareness on the existence of different researching perspectives of the libretto is most important for musicology, since music is the primary condition and justification of the existence of a libretto.
