Hans Christian Andersen and J.P.E. Hartmann’s opera Ravnen as a ‘melodramatisation’ of Carlo Gozzi’s Il Corvo
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research
German and French melodrama traditions of the early 19th century generally count as rather distinct, even antithetical traditions, which, nevertheless, sometimes cross each other's paths and meet in points of contact (Hambridge and Hicks, 2018). In this article I examine Hans Christian Andersen's and Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann's opera Ravnen (1832) (an adaptation of Carlo Gozzi's Il Corvo (1762)) in which melodrama numbers play a surprisingly prominent role - and argue that this work may be indeed by viewed as such a meeting point between the 'twin styles of melodrama'.
