INTERPRETIVE INNOVATIONS OF THE OPERA IMAGE IN THE CREATIVE DIALOGUE M. CALLAS - L. VISCONTI

Abstract

In the article, on the example of the performing arts of Maria Callas, it is shown that the so-called personification of the musical images of the opera, their visualization and their transition from the world of “pure music” to the stage space occurs through the phenomenon of combining melody and poetic text. It is logical to assume that such a change in the “proposed circumstances” in the opera in relation to the drama entails a transformation or, at least, an adjustment in the mechanism for bringing the actor's imagination to the state necessary for stage creativity. The research presents a singer-actor as part of the operatic text.
