Thesis (D.M.A.)--Boston University / Tonight we will recreate musical moments from the plays of Don Pedro Calderon De La Barca, who lived from 1600 until 1680. During his long span of life he dominated the brilliant Baroque playwrights and poets for several generations. He took the rich heritage of drama forms which Juan Del Encina, Tirso De Molina, Lope De Vega and many others had created, and under the magnificent patronage of the Hapsburgs--Philip III, Philip IV, and Carlos II--Calderon brought the one-act sacred plays, called autos sacramentales, to their definitive form. For us he is particularly interesting for the enormous amount of music he employed in his plays, and the creative ways in which he used the musical forms , and because he wrote the first librettos for Spanish opera and for the musical comedies, called zarzuelas. Calderon produced three types of plays: the one-act sacred plays, the three-act comedies and three-act dramas [TRUNCATED]

An important name in the history of Brazilian cinema, Luiz de Barros made dozens of films during his long career as a filmmaker. However, he did not dedicate his activities only to cinema, having established also an important career in "teatro de revista" and other stage shows. Based on researches in periodicals and archives, it was made a survey of the many activities of the director. Full of attractions, the musical comedies used elements of mass culture, like popular music and carnival, to attract the audience, bringing also several aspects of the “teatro de revista” and other artistic forms. Through the analysis of the movies Berlim na batucada (Luiz de Barros, 1944) e Caídos do céu (Luiz de Barros, 1946), this research aims to study how the filmmaker articulated characteristic elements of the “teatro de revista” in his films, both in the narrative level and in relation to production, also investigating the casting of theatrical actors and musicians well known to the public. Thus, this work intends to expand a research field of the history of Brazilian cinema that studies the dialogue with other kinds of entertainment. / Este trabalho estuda a relação entre o teatro de revista e as comédias musicais realizadas por Luiz de Barros. Um nome importante na história do cinema brasileiro, Luiz de Barros realizou dezenas de filmes durante sua longa carreira como cineasta. No entanto, sua atuação artística não se limitou apenas ao cinema, estabelecendo, também, uma importante trajetória no teatro de revista e em outros tipos de espetáculos de palco. A partir da pesquisa em periódicos e documentos, foi feito um levantamento das diversas atividades do realizador. As comédias musicais, repletas de atrações, se utilizavam de elementos da cultura de massa, como a música popular e o carnaval, para atrair o público, trazendo também diversas características do teatro de revista e outras formas artísticas. Através da análise dos filmes Berlim na batucada (Luiz de Barros, 1944) e Caídos do céu (Luiz de Barros, 1946), tem-se o objetivo de estudar como o cineasta articulava elementos característicos do teatro de revista, tanto no nível narrativo quanto em relação à produção, observando também a participação de atores teatrais e músicos conhecidos pelo público. Deste modo, o presente trabalho procura ampliar um campo de pesquisa da história do cinema brasileiro, que estuda o diálogo com outros tipos de entretenimento.
