Ernesto Palacio (Lima, 1946) es uno de los mayores expertos de la vocalidad rossiniana en la actualidad. Ejerció como cantante entre 1972 y 1998, poniendo su voz de tenor lírico-ligero al servicio del repertorio del bel canto, participando en el “rescate” de títulos hasta entonces desconocidos y presentando su enfoque artístico dentro de este estilo. Como maestro, fue el descubridor y guía de Juan Diego Flórez durante su etapa formativa en 1994. Lo impulsó hasta llevarlo a Pesaro en 1996, año del debut internacional que le abrió las puertas de la Scala de Milán. También lo representó y acompañó en los pasos más importantes de su carrera. Como agente artístico, Palacio ha sido parte clave para el despegue de cantantes hoy vigentes y destacados en la escena lírica mundial, como el bajo ruso Ildar Abdrazakov, la mezzosoprano Daniela Barcellona o el director de orquesta Michele Mariotti. Debido a su trayectoria y destacado trabajo, Ernesto Palacio fue elegido por las autoridades del Rossini Opera Festival como sovrintendente y director artístico; así como director de la Accademia Rossiniana “Alberto Zedda”. Esta investigación busca definir y determinar los aportes de Ernesto Palacio a la interpretación de la ópera rossiniana, considerando su amplia experiencia en el rescate de las obras compuestas por Gioachino Rossini y como continuador del Rossini Renaissance surgido a finales de la década del sesenta. En el camino por cumplir este objetivo, el lector profundizará en el pasado más remoto y el presente de la ópera entre Perú e Italia.

En se proposant d’étudier les relations des Français avec le Royaume de Naples dans la mise en place d’une politique archéologique parmi les plus modernes d’Europe sous les règnes de Joseph Bonaparte et Joachim Murat, cette thèse s’inscrit dans plusieurs domaines de la recherche en Histoire (politique et culturelle), Histoire de l’Art et Archéologie. Il s’agit ainsi de nous pencher surl’Antiquité à travers le prisme du XIXe siècle, tout en tentant de répondre aux questions actuelles de l’Histoire de l’art sur les provenances archéologiques et le destin des oeuvres découvertes dans ces années. Devant l’ampleur des découvertes archéologiques faites pendant le decennio francese, nous choisissons de limiter la recherche au matériel céramique. Ce corpus homogène permet de revenir sur les découvertes et l’histoire des sites archéologiques de l’Italie méridionale dans les années 1806-1815, en explorant des archives inédites. Leur dépouillement systématique apporte de nouvelles connaissances sur l’histoire des sites fouillés et permet de retrouver la provenance perdue d’objets aujourd’hui conservés dans les musées européens. Par ce croisement inédit de sources, nous espérons donner une vision plus complète de la Naples du decennio francese, tout en élargissant les connaissances sur l’Histoire de l’Archéologie en Italieméridionale. C’est là tout l’enjeu d’un sujet aux confluences des différents courants de l’Histoire,contemplant l’Antiquité dans le miroir des premières années du XIXe siècle. / Dealing with the relationships between the French connoisseurship and the Kingdom of Naples in building of one of the most modern archeological policies in Europe under Joseph Bonaparte and Joachim Murat's reigns, this doctorate takes a part in several fields of research in History (political and cultural), Art History and Archeology. It makes us look at the Antiquity through the prism of the XIX Century, trying at the same time to answer today’s questions of Art History about the archeological proveniences and the faith of the vases discovered in those years. In front of the large number of archeological discoveries made during the French Decade, we choose to focus our research on ancient painted vases. This homogeneous corpus leads us back to the discoveries and the history of archeological sites in the south of Italy during the years 1806-1815 by exploring ancient and unpublished archives. Their systematic sorting gives new information on the History of excavations, allowing us to find out the lost provenance of ancient vases, today conserved in several museums in Europe.With this original sources crossing, we aimed at offering a more complete vision of Naples during the French Decade by broadening the knowledge on the Southern Italian archeological History.Here stands the stake of a study at the confluences of different streams of History, looking at the Antiquity in the mirror of the first years of the XIX Century.

The purpose of this research is to analyze representations of Queen Elizabeth I of England in nineteenth-century Franco-Italian opera, and the relationship of these representations to contemporaneous singing style and the historical background. The basis for this analysis is three arias: "Quant'é grato all'alma mia" from Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra (1815) by Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868), "Sì, vuol di Francia il rege...Ah! quando all'ara scorgemi...Ah! dal ciel discenda un raggio" from Maria Stuarda (1835) by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848), and "Malgré l'éclat qui m'environne" from Le songe d'une nuit d'été (1850) by Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896). This research is divided into two main sections: the historical background of Italy and France in the nineteenth century, especially in the contemporaneous vocal style and fashions of literature; and a discussion of the composers' musical and dramatic choices for Queen Elizabeth I in the three selected arias. Chapter 2 is a brief introduction to the early nineteenth-century Franco-Italian historical background, vocal style, and popular literature. Chapter 3 presents an analysis of the three arias. The last chapter summarizes the representations of Elizabeth I in nineteenth-century politics, literature, and vocal style.
