Soprano as an Intertext in Contemporary Art: Triggering the Image

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the intertextual image of the soprano, which permeates the communication of various spheres of contemporary art – literature, music, and theater. On the basis of Ukrainian-language texts, the author of the article examines the forms of invocation of the soprano as the highest female singing voice, determines its dialogical nature with artistic texts, and searches for various images associated with the soprano: femininity, beauty, melody, grace, aesthetic ideal, etc. It is shown how the image of the soprano acts as a trigger in different art forms. Attention is drawn to the cultural background that becomes the basis for the functioning of the soprano image: it refers to the texts of literature (O. Pchilka, L. Kostenko, E. Hutsalo, etc.), musical and theatrical culture (K. Tsysyk, O. Obraztsova, L. Monastyrska), etc. The article identifies the triggers associated with the image of the soprano, on which its psychological basis rests: mezzo-soprano vs. coloratura soprano as a confrontation between the feminine and masculine in art.
