Abstract

The purpose of the study is to compare the festival and competition activities of opera houses in the socio-cultural context (on the examples of national opera houses of Kyiv, Odesa, and Lviv in recent years). The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach that includes knowledge of cultural studies, art history, and management of socio-cultural activities. The main method of the article is comperative analysis, as we have tried to compare and highlight the key forms of festival and competition activities of the studied theatres and their socio-cultural context. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comparative analysis of the festival and competition activities of opera houses in the socio-cultural context (on the examples of the national opera houses of Kyiv, Odesa, and Lviv in recent years). Conclusions. Having examined the festival and competition activities of the theatres we studied in 2020-2023, we can identify the following main trend in this aspect of functioning: the course of moving away from the closeness (“inflexibility”) of the theatre to an open artistic discourse through international partnerships, joint projects, and cooperation with other artistic groups in Ukraine – theatres act as a discussion cultural and artistic platform in the socio-cultural and professional space.
