About some differences in the construction of stage action by a director of drama and musical theaters

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to diagnose the prospects for the implementation of expressive techniques that allow to solve any dramatic problems and reveal the life of the "human spirit" in all its subtlest manifestations, accumulated over the centuries of existence in the works of musical drama. The research is related to the analysis of the adequacy of the modern understanding of the problem and prospects of music to finally take a leading position in the synthetic form of theater, which we call modern musical theater. The research methodology is determined by observational, analytical and historical-logical analysis of the prospects of understanding the need for directorial search for new methods of expression for the dramatic tasks of musical theater, given that in each era and in each country this problem was solved differently. The novelty of the study is to expand the idea of ​​how to generalize from the generalizing properties of music specific stage tasks, and how to make these tasks do not contradict its emotional and figurative structure. How to make the very ability of music to generalize help to deepen and enlarge the emotion that will be born on stage as a result of the right task set for the actor. Conclusions. The method by which a play is solved in a dramatic theater cannot be completely transferred to a musical theater. The prominent, leading position of music in musical theater requires a different approach, a different creative method. Music, which is the art of generalizing experiences, however, does not allow to "make an event" where it is. so to speak, not audible at all. And in this sense, the director of a musical theater dictates more specific conditions: through the events heard in music, to see the series in which they were built by the composer, and to understand exactly the conflict that aroused the imagination of the author.

Key words: musical theater, director of musical theater, musical drama, means of expression, event series, stage action, stage conflict, score, composer-playwright.
