    Anche se nel famoso libro di Peter Brooks (The Melodramatic Imagination, New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1976; ristampato nel 1995) si parla solo di passaggio e in modo alquanto impreciso di musica, sono numerosi gli studi musicologici che negli ultimi vent'anni si sono ad esso richiamati per attirare l'attenzione sull'importanza del mélodrame nel teatro (musicale e non) ottocentesco. Il mio articolo, all'interno di questo quadro, cercherà di esaminare la presenza della musica di scena nel mélodrame come una voce spesso invisibile, ma drammaturgicamente e narrativamente attiva. Il caso di studio prescelto riguarda un mélodrame francese (Les frères corses, 1850) che ebbe un enorme successo sulle scene anglosassoni e la cui "ghost melody" può essere considerata una tipica "voce melodrammatica".Peter Brooks in his famous book The Melodramatic Imagination (1976,reprinted in1995) refers to music in a vague way.

    Using the Freudian notion of Nachträglichkeit (taken up by Lacan and Žižek) as a starting-point for a “reconstructive” theory of musical historiography, in this paper I will consider the “popular trilogy” of Verdi not only as a “discursive formation” (Foucault) but also as a “reconstructive identity” (Ferry, Musi). Another purpose of my paper is to take into account the operatic performances of the past and the contemporary Regietheater as socially determined discursive practices, able to renegotiate, as well as critical essays, the meaning of operatic works. In the framework of a reconstructive historiography, I will examine a contemporary staging of the “popular trilogy”, by whose retroactive effect it will be possibly easier to understand what I mean by transforming the famous Freudian aphorism: «wo “Tradition” war, soll “Rekonstruktion” werden»
