Abstracts

EN

The ghost of the emperor Charles V appears both in the drama Don Carlos by Friedrich Schiller and in the libretto by Josèphe Méry and Camille du Locle to the opera Don Carlos by Giuseppe Verdi. In the text by Schiller the ghost is an illusion that the guards succumb to. For fear of the ghost they run away, which is why Carlos can meet the queen. In the text by Méry / du Locle the ghost has a form of an illusion that turns into an allusion: The figure of Charles V seen in the imagination of the protagonists reminds everyone of the idea of humanism.
