Abstract

This research presents for the first time the study and critical edition of the opera Abufar, ossia La famiglia araba (Mexico, Teatro Provisional, 1827) by the Sevillian composer Manuel del Pópulo Vicente García with a libretto by Felice Romani. With this analysis we seek to recover an important piece of our musical heritage and provide a critical study that enables an eventual staging of the opera. Likewise, both the figure of the composer and the libretto have been contextualized withing Garcia’s Mexican period. This analysis begins with a review and study of historical documentation including the transcription of the score and the libretto of the opera Abufar by Manuel García. This Doctoral Thesis is divided in an introduction and two chapters. The first chapter deals with various aspects related to the opera Abufar, while the second chapter presents the critical edition of the score and the libretto.
