Abstract

Diplomski rad, s naslovom "Opera Kralj Roger skladatelja Karola Szymanowskog - Analiza lika Roxane", istražuje kompleksan lik Roxane u Szymanowskovoj operi "Kralj Roger." Rad analizira njezin odnos s kraljem Rogerom, ulogu u drami, unutarnji razvoj tijekom opere i simboličku važnost u kontekstu glazbe i libreta. Roxana se promatra kao ključni faktor koji pokreće radnju i dublje teme opere. Razmatra se kako je Szymanowski izrazio filozofske i psihoanalitičke ideje kroz Roxanin lik te istražuje izvođačku interpretaciju uloge. Kroz anali- zu Roxane kao lika, rad istražuje dubine ove remek-djela poljske opere i kako je Szymanow- ski stvorio fascinantan lik koji istražuje ljudske moralne dileme. Roxana se pojavljuje kao junakinja koja simbolizira osuđenost i slobodu, strast i razum u opernom svijetu. Rad se te- melji na tradicionalnoj literaturi, osobnom znanju i istraživanju opere.

Abstract (english)

The thesis, titled "Karol Szymanowski's Opera King Roger - An Analysis of the Character Roxana," explores the complex character of Roxana in Szymanowski's opera "King Roger." The paper analyzes her relationship with King Roger, her role in the drama, her inner devel- opment throughout the opera, and her symbolic significance in the context of the music and libretto. Roxana is viewed as a key factor driving the plot and deeper themes of the opera. It is considered how Szymanowski expressed philosophical and psychoanalytical ideas through the character of Roxana and explores the performer's interpretation of the role. Through the analysis of Roxana as a character, the paper delves into the depths of this masterpiece of Pol- ish opera and how Szymanowski created a fascinating character that explores human moral dilemmas. Roxana emerges as a heroine symbolizing fate and freedom, passion and reason in the opera world. The paper is based on traditional literature, personal knowledge, and opera research.
