The basic factors, which influenced the style of Milhaud, are presented in the text. An innovative for the twentieth century polyphonic technique, the use of which is closely associated with the music-dramaturgical structure of the opera, has also been examined. A comparison is made between the libretto and its biblical sources. The paper presents the opera’s premiere performances, with their stage producers and casts. Reviews of the stagings have also been included. The text is based on the following methods of research: historical, analytical, structural, theoretical and comparative.
