Abstract

The article examins the influence of the Yakuti epic genre of olonkho, which has become the core of the national theatre, on opera “The Glow” by Vladimir Ksenofontov. Unlike his predecessors, the composer does not follow a beaten path of reconstruction of the monumental legend forms. Instead, he implements the plot not connected with the national epos. Nevertheless, the influence of the principles of olonkho is revealed on the level of aspects of dramaturgy of this work, such as topic and plot, scenario, composition and intonational development. Thus, as a result of research of the composition by Ksenofontov, the author finds the new approach to the olonkho traditions in Yakuti opera.

Keywords: Yakuti opera, Yakuti epos, olonkho, V. Ksenofontov
