Description

Source d'inspiration de pas moins de dix-sept opéras, Songe d'une nuit d'été symbolise le lien étroit entre Shakespeare et le monde musical. L'attitude des librettistes et des compositeurs face au personnage clé de Puck est particulièrement frappante. Le serviteur d'Obéron semble, plus que les autres, déjouer les conventions de l'opéra, notamment en matière de tessiture, et être ainsi placé au centre des œuvres, le révélant comme l'un des personnages les plus influents et les plus importants. Etudiant pour la première fois l'adaptation musicale d'un personnage littéraire dans quatre opéras différents, Mathias Lehn s'attache à en dégager les lignes directrices d'écriture, les différences ou les points communs. Une étude brillante et audacieuse, aussi bien littéraire que musicale, qui donne à découvrir ou à redécouvrir la célèbre œuvre de Shakespeare.
