TY - EJOUR TI - Néron ou la masculinité paradoxale d’un rôle de castrat dans un opéra vénitien du xviie siècle L’Incoronazione di Poppea, Monteverdi et Busenello T2 - European Drama and Performance Studies 2018 – 1, n° 10. Masculinité et théâtre DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-406-07790-9.p.0229 SN - 2045-8541 AB - The part of Nero, in L’Incoronazione di Poppea, is written for a castrato. This choice may seem paradoxical for a character who is at the same time a man of power and a lover. Based on seventeenth century sources and contemporary stage productions, this paper studies Nero’s paradoxical masculinity, showing how it allows questioning the definition of the masculine and its association with the traditional attributes of authority and power in Western society.
