Interpretation by L. V. Sobinov an Artistic Image as a Standard of the Training Opera Singers
The process of interpreting an artistic image on the opera stage is an open phenomenon of musical culture. The dialogical essence of this phenomenon consists in the multifaceted interaction between author, performer, director, decorator, audience and critic. Only dialogue can provide the creative process, when a musical performance is presented as an integral communicative system functioning in a social space. The “artistic world” of the opera arises in the process of performance. A certain “timespace” or the performance chronotope is created. To understand the art idea of the opera, it is important to build a system of communicative relations between the main characters and the dynamics of their development. Particular attention is paid to the work of such an outstanding performer as L. V. Sobinov on the artistic image. He proceeded from the cultural polysemy of the role, which combines both musical and dramatic components. The singer achieved stage expressiveness both in solo parts and in ensemble scenes, using all the richness of voice timbre colors. From a psychological point of view, in the work of the singer on the role, a combination of two ways was observed: extraverted, associated with impressions coming from outside, and introverted, aimed at internal understanding of the character and endowing him with personality traits. L. V. Sobinov chose roles that corresponded to his voice - a lyrical tenor, achieving perfection of performance in the parts of Lensky, Levko, Berendey, Orpheus, Lohengrin, Alfred, Werther and others. The creative reading of the role, finding one's “I” in it, was an important condition for the singer's performing activity, in which he was looking for a value meaning, social and cultural context of his character. This approach to working on a role can become a model for those who aspire to devote their professional activities to vocal art and become an opera singer.
