N. N. Sidelnikov’s ballet Stepan Razin: Features of the stage embodiment

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider the features of the stage embodiment of N. N. Sidelnikov’s ballet Stepan Razin staged by the Moscow Musical Theater. K. S. Stanislavsky and V. I. Nemirovich-Danchenko (1977, choreographer A. V. Chichinadze). Despite the obvious artistic merits of the play, there are practically no research papers devoted to it, with the exception of several reviews of the premiere. Therefore, some important details of the analysis of the musical and stage dramaturgy of the ballet Stepan Razin are covered for the first time.

The article, along with relying on published scientific and journalistic sources, uses fragments from the composer’s interview provided by the literary and dramatic part of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Musical Theater, as well as the author’s personal observations.

In conclusion, the conclusion is made about the scale of the idea of the performance, contributing to the creation, in fact, of a choreographic novel according to the idea of the composer himself.
