Abstract
Researching the artistic world of the opera genre necessarily incorporates analysis of the
temporal structure of the plotline. Various temporal modes of the opera’s plotline are represented
through scenic situations and the verbal text. Being in the picture both in direct and indirect ways,
they form by various means certain important semantic strata of the storyline dimension of the
opera. The aim of this article is to research of the idea-based and structural organization of artistic
time represented in the plot of Mikhail Glinka’s opera “A Life for the Tsar.” The main temporary
lines of the plot identified in correspondence with the situational context and the plotline-functional
status of the protagonists. The typological diversity of temporal forms is disclosed, and the
semantic interconnection of the plotline-temporal lines, the idea and sign-based functions of the
temporal modes is established. The research is carried out based upon the methods of philological
and semantic analysis of the musical text, which makes it possible to discover the deep semantic
strata of the opera’s narrative time. The typological and functional diversity of the temporal lines
is conducive to the formation of the integrality and multidimensionality of the temporal continuity
of the opera’s plotline. It presents itself in the role of a model of the national-historical “sensation
of time.” The author arrives at the conclusion regarding the systemic ideal unity of the temporal
universe of the opera’s plotline, which presents a significant segment of the composition’s artistic
picture of the world.
Keywords: Mikhail Glinka, the opera “A Life for the Tsar,” artistic world, artistic time, plotline.
