MODERN PALIMPSEST IN OPERA LIBRETTO
This article analyzes the opera libretto created in line with postmodernism literature, and, as a result, its subsequent projection in the musical score. The Game World is created in the composition with the help of the plot, language, and musical resources. The palimpsest is considered as a conceptual metaphor that determines the conventionality and secondary reflection of Sorokin on another's literary and artistic world. On this basis, Desyatnikov creates a work marked by a postmodern artistic and aesthetic carnival. But music, full of quotes and stylistic allusions, creates another artistic reality, which, like a palimpsest, at least partially preserves spiritual values of the past.
