ABSTRACT
The article intends to present the origin of the opera, in the thought of the young Nietzsche, parallel in the birth of the ancient Greek tragedy with whose comparison we intend to show how the formation of the first takes place under the insignia of an instinctual restriction. The idea is to present the origin of opera, as Nietzsche understood it from the reading of Zur Tonkunst by Ernst Lindner, as a critique of the western rationalization process that imprisoned the productive force of Nature as of the superposition of consciousness to the unconscious force of art. Even in the case of a dramatic genre that uses music, a form of expression that in theory expresses the very Idea of the world.
