Opera, for its inherent multimedia nature (text, music,
scenography, ballet, representation), lends itself to
interdisciplinary, including those that touch upon legal topics.
The stories told in the great masterpieces of European opera are,
frequently, based on facts relevant for criminal law. Murders,
abductions, extortions, kidnappings, massacres, and other types of
crimes have filled the stories of opera since its origin. In much
of musical theatre, including the masterpieces by Verdi, Donizetti,
Bellini, Wagner, and many others,there are, also issues addressed
that touch upon the less obvious areas of private law: librettos
often talk about contracts, donations, wills, weddings, family
relationships, debts and money issues in general. In Gaetano
Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, Nemorino - in love with the beautiful
but indifferent Adina - is the victim of a real contract scam
perpetrated by Dulcamara. In La sonnambula by Vincenzo Bellini,
Elvino snatches the engagement ring given to Amina thinking she was
unfaithful: he revokes a donation made in view of marriage, and
maybe breaks a rule of law. In Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold, one
witnesses a sensational case of breach of contract, to be read in
the light of the emergence, in the nineteenth century, of a new
sensibility for market economy and the increasingly central value
of contracts in social relations. In Le nozze di Figaro by Mozart,
there is a strange marriage vow, executed in order to guarantee the
repayment of a debt.
