Summary/Abstract: The teaching of rendering transformations of the content and scene of musical theatre, which is directed to the values of the performance, cannot be restricted to memorising or learning theatrical propositions or theoretical reasoning. In musical-theatrical culture, the fusion of content and image, be it visible or mental, reflects the perception of reality. The natural transformation of content, scene and sound happening in the viewer's consciousness represents the reality perceived by producers. The syncretic nature of the art of antiquity, which has manifested itself in the unity of text, music, scene and dance, influenced the close connection of musical-theatrical European culture with philosophy, aesthetics, mathematics, physics and other branches of science, which influenced musical-theatrical Lithuanian culture. The explanations of the nature of content and scene were based on the works of Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid. Transformations of the content and scene of musical theatres developed systematically into different directions, while orientating and adapting themselves to the cultures and civilisations of different centuries.
