La musique de Tchaïkovski est une source intarissable, tel un livre lu et relu, dans lequel se descellent des pages encore des plus intéressantes. Ce travail se propose d’aborder les opéras de Tchaïkovski sous l’aspect d’une dramaturgie du fatum : dramaturgie comme structure pensante, évocatrice de sens, en elle est contenue la manière de penser du créateur ; et fatum comme force inéluctable, omniprésente dans l’œuvre de ce compositeur romantique. Afin de constituer ce qui serait le système musico-dramatique de Tchaïkovski, nous avons cherché les axes fondamentaux – communs à toutes ces œuvres –, en dissociant les forces actantes de l’action dramatique. Ce travail se veut également comme une tentative de concrétiser la réalisation en musique d’une catégorie dramaturgique fondamentale – celle du conflit. Il propose aussi une synthèse des quelques-uns des principes formels, tonals et orchestraux qui servent la cause d’une dramaturgie opératique subtile et efficace en même temps. / Tchaikovski’s music is an inexhaustible source, like a book that one can read and read over again, still containing among the most interesting pages. This work intend to approach the Tchaikovski’s operas from the angle of the fatum’s dramaturgy : dramaturgy as thinking structure, meaning evocative, as it contains the way of thinking of its creator ; and fatum as an ineluctable force, omnipresent in the creation of this romantic composer. In order to build what would be the musico-dramatic system of Tchaikovski, we searched the fondamental axes – commun for all these works –, dissociating the acting forces of the dramatic action. This work want to be also a try to put in concrete form the realization in music of one of the fondamental dramaturgical category – the conflict. It propose also a synthesis of some of the formal, tonal and orchestral principles serving the goal of a opera dramaturgy, subtle and efficient in the same time.

Francis Poulenc's one-character opera La Voix humaine (1958), a setting of the homonymous play by Jean Cocteau, explores the psychological complexities of an unnamed woman as she experiences the end of a romantic relationship. During the forty-minute work, she sings in a declamatory manner into a telephone, which serves as a sign of the unrevealed man at the other end. Poulenc uses musical motives to underscore the woman's changing emotional states as she recalls her past relationship. The musical dramaturgy in this work resignifies Debussy's impressionist symbolism by collapsing devices used in Pelléas et Mélisande in a language that shifts between octatonicism, chromaticism, harmonic and melodic whole tone passages, and diatonicism. This late work recontextualizes elements in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-56), and the end of the opera provides a theme for his Sonate pour Clarinet et Piano(1962), as Poulenc reflects on his youthful encounters with Cocteau, Erik Satie, and Les Six.
