Abstract

Author of this text investigates the problem of musicological
reception of music of G. Bizet in the Soviet
Union. The materials — the articles in encyclopedias and
monographs of the Soviet period — demonstrate gradual
transformation of views under the influence of historical,
political and individual-biographic circumstances of the
1930th — 1980th. The author proposes the hypothesis of
Soviet myth of Bizet's «Carmen» and its interpretations.

Keywords: French opera, opera of the 19th Century,
sociology of music, reception history, musical source study
