Title: A Força do Destino: Uma paródia orquestrada com maestria por Nélida Piñon.
Abstract: The present work is an analytic reading of the novel The Force of Destiny, by Nélida Piñon, which was published in 1978 an has a theme that dialogues with the opera of same title composed in 1861 by Giuseppe Verdi. My proposal consists in assuming a spectators’ glance towards the presentation of this parody that is written in prose but that parades before us theatre and operatically, allowing us to know the mastery of a conductor that uses the language baton to lead us through the universe of imagination.
