CONCEPTUL CREZULUI IUBIRII ÎN OPERA PUCCINIANĂ
THE CONCEPT OF THE CREED OF LOVE IN PUCCINIAN’S OPERA

Summary/Abstract: 100 years after the death of the great composer Giacomo Puccini, his masterpieces still endure and delight the souls of audiences around the world. For 100 years and until today, the stages of operas all over the world host the loves full of a special charm that Puccini's creation outlines. The works of the great Giacomo Puccini depict the fabulous destinies of heroes dedicated to the most beautiful and deepest human feeling: love. The creed of love is the common and specific element of all the composer's works. It is the invisible thread on which his entire creation hangs, and at the same time it becomes the narrative thread of each individual work. Both the music and the dramaturgy of Puccini's masterpieces are built on the strong meaning of the creed of love. In a multiplicity of colors and forms of expression, Puccini's love takes on many faces, according to the subject and action of each work, and the characters' vocality and their musical phrases are fully consistent with the feelings of love they try, and constantly reproduce the creed of their love through the lens of musical discourse. Puccini exposes in his works the concept of the creed of love through entirely pictorial frames, the music together with the dramaturgy seem to essentially create paintings. Each Puccinian lovecreates a distinct world, a universe of unique and sublime experiences, in which the creed of love becomes a hero regardless of the fate of emotions. Puccini's loves especially emphasize the virtues of love in a woman's heart, portraying female love so deep, capable of doing unimaginable deeds in the name of love. All these portraits of the creed of love that we meet in Puccini's works come from the great love of the composer for music and for art, from his great dedication to the whole universe of the ineffable meaning of music. The music of Puccini's operas is accompanied by the presence of a dramatic intellect that intertwines these irreversible, delightful or even overwhelming forms of love.
