| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 音樂學系碩(博)士班 === 106 === L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love), an opera composed by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848), has been regarded as one of the most brilliant and classic Italian opera buffa, and has taken its place in the repertory performances of worldwide notable opera houses over the past two centuries. Starting from the fondness for the noted tenor aria Una furtiva lagrima (A furtive tear) and thus for entire masterpiece, the author hence explores into the leading role Nemorino to develop deeper comprehension and interpretation.
This interpretation study set out in 5 chapters exploring respectively into the life of composer Gaetano Donizetti, life of librettist Felice Romani, Donizetti’s opera musical expressions, synopsis of the opera, and the role interpretation. Thereupon, the study discussion is focused on Nemorino’s arias of two different scenes, i.e. Quanto è bella, quanto è cara! (How beautiful she is!) and Una furtiva lagrima (A furtive tear), as well as his duet with the leading soprano Adina, i.e. Una parola, o Adina - Chiedi all'aura lusinghiera! (Ask the flattering breeze!), which delves into the character’s growth and development that shapes the musical portrayal and performance of the tenor role Nemorino.
