Dance and plastic images in S. Slonimsky’s opera The Master and Margarita
Abstract
The article is devoted to the character images of the opera The Master and Margarita by S. Slonimsky, decided by the composer by means of dance and plastic, but without vocals. Their connection with the genesis of Bulgakov’s literary text and the long traditions of the opera genre refracted by the composer in his composition was revealed. The dramatic significance in the opera of Slonim’s images of Koroviev (Bassoon), Behemoth, which have an instrumental-plastic characteristic, and dance episodes (ball at Satan) is determined. The additional inclusion of the main characters (Masters and Margarita) in the final episode of the opera by the choreographers of the dance was considered.
