Abstract

This essay aims to propose a reading of Eça de Queirós’ novel, , starting from its direct references to the mentioned performed operas and musical pieces along the novel. These references serve as musical intertexts in order to facilitate a dialogue between the instrumental and vocal musical discourses with the fictional plot, incurring in a significant manner in the characters’ trajectory. Knowing the techniques of operatic composition in force in Europe and reader of the social conditions of his country, Eça de Queirós seems to take their creatures of specific vocal tones, giving them a representative function and putting into practice his design of a ironic looking about romantic idealism.
