  • Format : Online meeting (Zoom)
  • Presenter : EGUCHI, Daisuke
  • Affiliation, Position : School of Law, Waseda University
  • Title : “The verisimilitude in Alceste by Wieland/Schweitzer”
  • Language : Japanese
  • Moderator : SATO, Suguru
  • Abstract :
    Alceste (1773) by C. M. Wieland and A. Schweitzer can be compared with Alceste (1674) of Quinault/Lully and Alceste (Italian version 1767, French version 1776), which is composed by Gluck, in that they are all based on the work of Euripides and focus on the verisimilitude of the drama. Referring to the essay “Versuch über das Teutsche Singspiel” by Wieland and some important events such as the controversy about “Alceste” in France and the Operatic reforms by Gluck, I will observe the tense relationship between the verisimilitude and the marvelous in the libretto of Alceste by Wieland.
