Abstract
«Desire on work. A few erotic characters within the opera. Carmen, Salomé, Lady Macbeth of Mzensk » The opera is one of the most prominent place where desire can be expressed. At the end of the nineteenth century, how did eroticism - appearing suddenly on the lyrical stage - manage to bring a new dimension to make the public realise that it was, from now, impossible for him to make his phantasms come true ? Analysing three operas written and created between 1875-1934, we will focus on the links created by eroticism between feast, trangression, violence and death, when these four topics are seen and felt from a distance thanks to theatrical criterias and sublimated by the highly erotic power of the human voice.
