Starting from Nietzsche’s reading of Raffaello’s The Transfiguration, and from the aesthetic dichotomy between beautiful and sublime, this paper first deals with the primary role that Die Geburt der Tragödie played in the field of theatrical experimentation, especially regarding the alternation of roles and with a special focus on Barberio Corsetti’s spectacle La nascita della tragedia (1996).

Abstract

Starting from Nietzsche’s reading of Raffaello’s The Transfiguration, and from the aesthetic dichotomy between beautiful and sublime, this paper first deals with the primary role that Die Geburt der Tragödie played in the field of theatrical experimentation, especially regarding the alternation of roles and with a special focus on Barberio Corsetti’s spectacle La nascita della tragedia (1996). It analyzes then, as a case study, Karol Szymanowski’s opera Krol Roger, one of the several musical adaptations of Euripides’ The Bacchae, directly inspired by Nietzsche, that brilliantly exemplify his aesthetic program of a synergy between Apollo and Dionysus: a complex, sublime transfiguration of negative dissonances.
