Sumario:This article reflects on the morphological, dramaturgical and aesthetic efficacy of the elements selected by Arturo Berutti to stage a scene of violence in the opera Pampa, premiered in Buenos Aires in 1897. Such elements, of verbal, musical and scenic nature, alternate their preeminence to represent the duel to death with bladed weapons between the protagonist, the gaucho Giovanni Moreira, and the antagonist, the Alcalde Francisco. This third scene of Act II becomes, at the same time, the culminating tragic knot of the whole opera. For its analysis, a set of theoretical-methodological approaches and categories have been mixed, a necessary combination to observe our object of study in a holographic approach. Carl Dahlhaus´s definitions of musical dramaturgy and aesthetic judgment, Stuart Hall's concept of cultural representations, the examination of librettos and librettists based on Della Seta´s perspectives, the resources offered by Gallarati about the emotional confrontation of the characters embodied in the duets and the explanations of Fustinoni about the alienation in opera that causes violent outcomes are applied.
