Abstract

Purpose of the article is the analysis of compositional and lexical features of D. Shostakovich “The Bright Stream” ballet in F. Lopukhov and O. Ratmanskyi ballet-masters dance versions. Methodology. The work methodology includes using such culturological methods as general historical, comparative historical, analytical and biographical. Scientific Novelty. The novelty of publication is an objective and unprejudiced analysis (from the position of modern art studies) Soviet era choreographers achievements, comparison their results with modern ballet-masters accomplishments. Conclusions. For the first time “The Bright Stream” was shown in April 1935. Despite the success among the audience, because of allegedly distorted attitude to Soviet reality, the performance was admitted as wrong. The second “live” for D. Shostakovich ballet gave O. Ratmanskyi in 2003. He managed to renew performance without changing libretto and fill it with new comic sounding; in compositional decision expanded mass scenes, used original choreographic pictures, harmoniously combine classic dance moves with physical acrobatic elements.
