RESUMO

The present work centralizes the political practice of Giuseppe Verdi and the analysis of the feminine voices in the Romantic Opera Aida. Through music and an exemplar personal conduct, the nationalist composer has expressed his own political opinions with his operas, which made him a symbol of the conquest of independence and national unity, a period known as Risorgimento, a movement of the Italian history that sought the countrys unification between 1875 and 1870. Composed in his maturity, Aida (1871) reflects two crucial aspects of his carrier: the political theme and the concern about man within the society. His contribution for the Italian Romantic Opera development brought innovations in two ways: a) the evolution of drama, where we find the ideal solution between text and music, the word Scenic that first occurred in the end of the XIX and beginning of the XX century; b) the vocal typology of the end of Romanticism the specificity that Verdi gave vocal registries of his characters in that period achieved much importance, so now it is known as Verdian Vocal Evolutions. As a historical reference of Aida and its period of composition from the time it was ordered to its premiere in Cairo and Milan this research seeks after the dialogue in the correspondences between Verdi and his friends, and his co-participation in a libretto with Antonio Ghislanzoni. In relation to the feminine voices, we have investigated the detailing of Verdis vocal registries and particularities in the vocal line of characters Aida (soprano) and Amneris (mezzo-soprano), presenting a descriptive analysis of the musical excerpts studied in accordance with the evolution of the drama.
