Reassessing the Naples Version of Verdi\u2019s Don Carlo<\/em>: The Duet between King Philip and the Marquis of Posa: Inori HAYASHI<\/h3>\n
Abstract<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Giuseppe Verdi\u2019s opera Don Carlo<\/em> exists in several revised versions. Among them, the Naples version, revived in 1872 under Verdi\u2019s supervision, remains understudied despite its significance. This study focuses on the Naples version, comparing it with the Bologna version (1867)\u2014an Italian adaptation of the original Paris premiere\u2014and the Milan version (1884). The central focus of analysis is the duet between King Philip and the Marquis of Posa, a pivotal moment that reveals changes in musical and dramatic treatment. The study draws on primary sources, including the scores and libretti of each version, contemporary performance reviews, and Verdi\u2019s correspondence. The findings show that, while the Naples version largely conforms to Italian operatic conventions in musical structure and vocal melody, it also incorporates musical elements and compositional techniques later refined in the Milan version. These insights enhance the understanding of Verdi\u2019s dramaturgical process and the evolution of Don Carlo<\/em> across its various versions.<\/p>\n
