It means "musical drama." It is a type of opera that was performed in Germany from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. Written in German, it often has a light and comical plot. A major feature of this type of opera is that, unlike regular opera, it often uses spoken dialogue. In 1743, a German adaptation of the English ballad opera Devil to Pay was performed in Berlin. Inspired by this, Johann Adam Hiller (1728-1804) composed a new work of the same name in 1766 and successfully performed it, and new Singspiels were performed all over Germany. After that, Singspiels developed under the influence of Italian opera buffa and French opera comique, and eventually Mozart's representative Singspiels such as Bastien and Bastienne (1766) and The Abduction from the Seraglio (1782) were created. However, by the mid-19th century, Singspiels were replaced by operettas and disappeared. [Masao Ishida] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
「歌芝居」の意。18世紀後半から19世紀中ごろまでドイツで上演された歌劇の一形体。ドイツ語で書かれ、多くは明るく喜劇的な筋(すじ)をもつ。大きな特徴として、一般のオペラとは異なり、地の台詞(せりふ)が多く用いられる。 1743年ベルリンで、イギリスのバラッド・オペラ(対話と民謡や当時の有名な旋律から構成された劇場作品)『悪魔は放たれた』Devil to Payのドイツ改作版が上演された。これに刺激を受けたヒラーJohann Adam Hiller(1728―1804)が、1766年新たに作曲した同名の作品を上演して成功させ、以後ドイツ各地で新作のジングシュピールが上演されるようになった。その後、イタリアのオペラ・ブッファやフランスのオペラ・コミックの影響を受けつつ発展し、やがてモーツァルトの『バスティアンとバスティエンヌ』(1766)、『後宮からの逃走』(1782)などの代表的なジングシュピールが生み出された。しかし、19世紀中ごろには、これにかわるオペレッタに押されて姿を消していった。 [石多正男] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
