Abstract

Through the lenses of magic, witchcraft and superstition, this article explores Veneno es de amor la envidia (Biblioteca Nacional de España, Ms. 19254), a little-known zarzuela by Sebastián Durón and Antonio de Zamora. I consider this zarzuela within its wider cultural context, looking at changing attitudes towards magic and witchcraft in early modern Spain, as well as within the context of Zamora’s literary output. I propose that Veneno es de amor la envidia was intended to attract large crowds of theatregoers fascinated with depictions of the supernatural while also helping to debunk beliefs in witchcraft through the use of humour and parody. An examination of this rather intriguing zarzuela contributes to our understanding of an often-overlooked corpus of theatrical music of the Baroque.

“愿曾经美丽的她变成妖怪”：威尼斯的魔法和巫术（马德里，1711年）

摘要

通过魔术，巫术和迷信的视角，本文探究了西班牙的威尼斯（Biblioteca Nacional deEspaña，女士，19254），这是塞巴斯蒂安·杜伦（SebastiánDurón）和安东尼奥·德·萨莫拉（Antonio de Zamora）鲜为人知的zarzuela。我认为这个zarzuela是在其更广泛的文化背景下研究的，着眼于近代早期西班牙对魔术和巫术的态度变化，以及在萨莫拉的文学作品中。我建议委内瑞拉旨在吸引大批对超自然现象着迷的看戏的人，同时还通过幽默和模仿来帮助揭穿巫术的信仰。对这个相当吸引人的zarzuela的研究有助于我们理解一个经常被忽视的巴洛克式戏剧音乐语料库。
