Abstract

The artical is devoted to the unknown page of Russian
modern musical theatre — N. N. Sidelnikov's opera-dialogue
Chertogon (1978–1981). In composer's own words,
Chertogon is an opera-mixture based on N.S. Leskov's
story which has the same name. It is a rather large score
(about 600 pages). The article analyses two main problems:
the comparison of the literary source and the opera
libretto (written by the composer himself) and the explanation
of the specific features of genre of opera-mixture.

Keywords: Russian musical theater, contemporary
opera, N. Sidelnikov
