“THE GOLDEN HOOP” BY B. LYATOSHYNSKYI IN THE INHERITANCE OF SPIRITUAL AND MYTHOLOGICAL INSTRUCTIONS OF THE MUSICAL THEATRE OF EUROPE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the research is to reveal the poetic and intonation uniqueness of B. Lyatoshynskyi's "The Golden Hoop" in the stream of spiritual and mythological instructions of the European musical theatre of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methodology. Interdisciplinary, historical-cultural, genre-stylistic approaches, which allow us to reveal the spiritual and mysterious foundations of the opera "The Golden Hoop" by B. Lyatoshynskyi and its literary primary source, were essential for this work. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by its analytical perspective, which reveals the spiritual and mysterious genesis of the opera "The Golden Hoop" by B. Lyatoshynskyi, imprinted not only by the poetics of the Ukrainian musical theatre and its spiritual and aesthetic guidelines, but also by the Christian and mythological foundations of the Western European opera of the Romantic era. Conclusions. “The Golden Hoop” by B. Lyatoshynskyi (1929) became an outstanding work of Ukrainian and European musical theatre in general in the first half of the 20th century. On the one hand, this opera arose at the intersection of the “social” ideas of I. Franko and their artistic embodiment in the story “Zakhar Berkut”, as well as the spiritual and ethical guidelines of the work of B. Lyatoshynskyi, formed against the background of the mysterious and mythological background of the Ukrainian “image of the world” and cultures. On the other hand, the spiritual and semantic specificity of the analysed opus with the obvious minimisation of the actual historical factor in it, the strengthening of the mythological beginning (the coexistence of three worlds – gods, heroes and people), the reinterpretation (in comparison with the literary original source) by the authors of the opera of its finale with an emphasis on its sacrificial-redemptive meaning – all this evokes certain analogies between “The Golden Hoop” and a wide range of themes and images of European culture of the past and present and its biblical and Christian mystical background.
