Opera interpretations of two works of Joseph Conrad ("Tomorrow" and "The heart of darkness")

Abstracts

EN

One of the most important problems tackled in Conrad’s prose is the process of decision-making, its contextuality and dramatism determined by the cognitive crisis. A presentation of this process, its embodiment requires an implementation of means characterised by a wide interpretative margin, and yet distinctive enough to establish clear limits of such a margin. The article indicates the form and aesthetics of opera to be an interesting tool capable of capturing an ever-present in Conrad’s work, its multi-layered dialogue, or perhaps sometimes conflict, about philosophical topics. In such an instrument, music, disentangled from its merely ornamental function, becomes a separate and equal voice.
