Operetta and musical comedy: Musical and drama features and production traditions
Abstract
Very often, the concepts of musical comedy, Soviet operetta and operetta are used as synonyms in critical and journalistic texts. In musical theaters (operetta theaters, musical comedy theaters), the concepts of “operetta” and “musical comedy” do not mix. The article examines a number of characteristics of the musical and dramatic basis of the works, reveals the common and different in operetta and musical comedies. The author analyzes the production traditions, identifies trends that strengthen the position of musical comedy as a completely independent genre.
