Summary/Abstract: Purpose of Research. The purpose of the article is to analyse the peculiarities of the production of E. Stankovych's folk opera «When the Fern Blooms» and the main directorial approaches to the production of this work at the end of the XX century - the beginning of the XXI century. Methodology of Research. The methodology of the research is based on interdisciplinary approach, which allows us to use the achievements of the history of culture, musicology, theatrical studies, cultural studies, etc. The author has used the following methods: a comparative method (to compare the stage design of the original performance and its interpretation in the Lviv National Opera); a historical method (to analyse the socio-political circumstances of the creation of this folk-opera); a method of synthesis (to highlight the variability of the forms of staging of E. Stankovych's opera). Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the research is the analysis of the transformation of the plot-composition specificity of the folk opera «When the Fern Blooms» by E. Stankovych and its contemporary directorial interpretations on the example of the folk opera-ballet «When the Fern Blooms» of the Lviv National Opera. Conclusions. Thus, despite the complex fate of the production of E. Stankovych's folk opera «When the Fern Blooms», this work entered the history of Ukrainian culture as an example of a «new folk wave». At the beginning of the XXI we can see its Renaissance in the forms of various directorial modifications, where the the staging of the Lviv National Opera 2017 occupies the special place among them. It is characterized by the combination of spatial-temporal dimensions of reflection of national authentic ancestral culture and the present one.
