Summary/Abstract: The article reviews some dramaturgical and esthetical perspectives in the operatic works of Parashkev Hadzhiev in the context of the national tradition. Such perspectives are set in his first significant and very popular opera, „Lud Gidia”, and they are starting point of the Bulgarian semiopera, an art form to which the composer is not only especially attracted, but also creatively oriented. Besides touching on stylish and esthetical characteristics of Hadzhiev, as formation of specific vocal style, carefully based on the Bulgarian language and its specific accents, the article reviews Hadzhiev’s vindication of the classical structure of the material and his unwillingness to mimic empty modernity of the expression. The article concludes that Hadzhiev’s work conforms to the principles of the Bulgarian operatic dramaturgy without losing its identity and contribution to the respective music, vocal and dramaturgical exploration.
