- Title
Women's Voices in Opera: A Psychohistorical Perspective on Three Arias.
- Authors
TORONTO, ELLEN; TORONTO, EMILY WOOD
- Abstract
Operatic characters and situations are passionate, larger than life, and yet highly relatable as part of the human condition. The object of this article will be a psychoanalytic exploration of three well-known operas--Britten's The Rape of Lucretia, Verdi's Rigoletto, and Bizet's Carmen--whose narratives simultaneously oppress women even as the beautiful music expresses powerful, inspirational and subversive messages in the face of their oncoming deaths.
