Extra Info | : | Psychoanalysis and Opera – What Freud might have said about operatic heroes. The talk, led by Sara Collins, will discuss the psychoanalytic understanding of opera. Legendary operatic characters such as Rusalka (Dvorak), Eugene Onegin (Tchaikovsky) and La Traviata (Verdi), are examined from a contemporary psychoanalytic perspective. Informed by Freud’s original thinking, the session will consider their inner psychic conflicts, and what might have unconsciously motivated their actions and fatal decisions. |
