This short article analyses the relationship between art and politics in Giacomo Puccini's operatic compositions. Through a politico-philosophical (and legal-philosophical) perspective, I will focus on the way in which Puccini's musical style, as well as his propensity for certain topics, depict and display certain conceptions of power, law, justice, poverty and social critique. In the conclusion, I will show that one of the main common threads in many Puccinian works might be found in the salvific and liberating function of art itself.

Abstract

This short article analyses the relationship between art and politics in Giacomo Puccini's operatic compositions. Through a politico-philosophical (and legal-philosophical) perspective, I will focus on the way in which Puccini's musical style, as well as his propensity for certain topics, depict and display certain conceptions of power, law, justice, poverty and social critique. In the conclusion, I will show that one of the main common threads in many Puccinian works might be found in the salvific and liberating function of art itself.
