Abstract

In today’s art criticism there is an increasing necessity in searching for new methodological approaches to the analysis of literary texts, based on the synthesis of various art forms. This paper highlights the need for an integrated approach to the study of musical and theatrical genres (opera and ballet), taking into account the stage interpretation phase. For this sake musical-theatrical work is regarded as a synthetic literary text, understood as the result of a gradual multi-level interpretation of the text from literary source (the composer creativity phase) and interpretation of the musical score (the staging incarnation). The semiotic approach can explain the multiplicity of meanings in a musicaltheatrical text – both the original and interpretative source; reveal the text intention as generating meanings, the text being seen as an incentive to the emergence of new staging versions. For the first time ever to analyze the musical and theatrical genres the author used a synergistic ap-proach that allows understanding the synthetic literary text of Opera/Ballet as an open system with features of self-organization. At the same time artistic interpretation of the composer and producers is considered a manifestation of its instability and the subsequent establishment of a new order in the newly formed text (whether it is a composer score, opera or ballet performances)
