Abstract
The article is devoted to the ballet role in the dramaturgy of A Life for the Tsar. Author examines how the new model of the Russian opera was created by composer Glinka. The genesis of the separation into the two spaces - the Russian as the singing people and the Enemy as the dancing Poles - lied in the European music and theater. The development of the ballet and the new type of romantic ballet that was including in French “grand opera” by Giacomo Meyerbeer, influenced on A Life for the Tsar. The one more source of Russian opera - Der Freischütz by K.M. fon Weber. Interestingly, the ballet Polish act took more popularity than Russian act. This perceptive paradox is discussed and explained.
