Il contributo dei grandi scienziati alla formulazione di teorie innovative, che hanno spesso condotto a radicali cambiamenti, può essere raccontato in molti modi: non solo mediante le ricostruzioni storiche, ma attraverso la letteratura, il cinema e altre forme artistiche. Anche il teatro musicale ha giocato un ruolo importante nell’offrire una propria rappresentazione di questi personaggi e delle loro fondamentali scoperte: un approccio finora non abbastanza evidenziato, capace però di aprire orizzonti inediti e far luce su dinamiche rimaste talvolta in ombra. Sulla scia di Paul Hindemith, che nel 1957 ha dedicato la sua grandiosa opera Die Harmonie der Welt all’astronomo Keplero, altri compositori hanno trasformato in protagonisti musicali eminenti scienziati, da Galileo fino Einstein e Turing. Figure al centro di svolte epocali, come quelle verificatesi a inizio Seicento e nella prima metà del ventesimo secolo, sono così divenute personaggi centrali dell’attuale produzione operistica. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The contribution of great scientists to the formulation of innovative theories, which have often led to radical changes, can be told in many ways: not only through historical reconstructions, but through literature, cinema and other artistic forms. Musical theater has also played an important role in offering its own representation of these characters and their fundamental discoveries: an approach that has not yet been sufficiently highlighted, but capable of opening up new horizons and shedding light on dynamics that have sometimes remained in the shadows. In the wake of Paul Hindemith, who in 1957 dedicated his grandiose work Die Harmonie der Welt to the astronomer Kepler, other composers have transformed eminent scientists into musical protagonists, from Galileo to Einstein and Turing. Figures at the center of epochal turning points, such as those that occurred at the beginning of the seventeenth century and in the first half of the twentieth century, have thus become central figures of current opera production.]
