Abstract
La comedia es un género teatral cuya componente musical ha sido obviado por la musicología. Durante el siglo XVIII, sin embargo, fue el género de teatro musical más representado de la ciudad de Madrid, el que más fuentes conserva y al que el público recurría con más asiduidad. Por ello, este trabajo doctoral se centra en la música para comedias del Madrid del siglo XVIII, configurándose como el primer trabajo monográfico que busca rescatar el género del olvido. Centrándose en la comedia y su música desde diferentes puntos de vista, el trabajo aborda cuestiones como la realidad sociocultural del género, permitiendo indagar en cómo estaba de imbricado en la vida social madrileña del setecientos y definir la compleja maquinaria de producción teatral y musical de la que disponía la capital. También se tratan las cuestiones literarias del género, centrándose en la producción dramática de la Ilustración popular española y reclamando su importante papel en la evolución teatral española, a pesar de su escasa presencia en los estudios literarios actuales. Por otra parte, se centra el trabajo en los protagonistas musicales de la comedia, definiendo todos estos perfiles asociados a las compañías, es decir, compositores, cantantes y músicos de la orquesta de comedias, así como la evolución de todos ellos durante el siglo XVIII. Se aporta numerosa información de personalidades que fueron fundamentales en la red musical del Siglo de las Luces, conocidos y desconocidos hoy en día, como por ejemplo compositores como Blas de Laserna, Pablo Esteve, Antonio Guerrero, Pablo del Moral o Luis Misón o cantantes como Lorenza Correa, Catalina Tordesillas, María Hidalgo o Vicente Sánchez Camas, entre muchos otros...
Comedia is a theatrical genre whose musical component has been ignored by musicology. During the eighteenth century, however, it was the most performed musical theater genre in the city of Madrid, the one that preserved more sources and to which the public resorted more assiduously. Therefore, this doctoral work focuses on the music for comedias in eighteenth-century Madrid, becoming the first monographic work that seeks to rescue the genre from oblivion. Focusing on comedia and its music from different points of view, the work addresses issues such as the sociocultural reality of the genre, allowing us to investigate how it was imbricated in the social life of Madrid in the eighteenth century and to define the complex machinery of theatrical and musical production available in the capital. The literary issues of the genre are also dealt with, focusing on the dramatic production of the Spanish popular Enlightenment and claiming its important role in the Spanish theatrical evolution, despite its scarce presence in current literary studies. On the other hand, the work focuses on the musical protagonists of the comedia, defining all these profiles associated with the companies:composers, singers and musicians of the comedia orchestra, as well as the evolution of all of them during the 18th century. Numerous information is provided on personalities who were fundamental in the musical network of the Enlightenment, known and unknown today, such as composers like Blas de Laserna, Pablo Esteve, Antonio Guerrero, Pablo del Moral or Luis Misón or singers like Lorenza Correa, Catalina Tordesillas, María Hidalgo or Vicente Sánchez Camas, among many others...
