Summary/Abstract: The study “Drama-Music Communication in Opera Performance” builds on my35-year experience of lyric drama in opera production. In my career as a director, whichspanned from Baroque opera to contemporary opera, I was intrigued by the multipleconnections between the musical dramaturgy, vocal expressiveness, stage image andimpact on the audience. Consequently, I realised that all these elements which rely onmusical scores are connected by something similar to the principle of communicatingvessels: with genuine and intense musical-dramatic communication, the artistic emotionmay reach the same level in all the components of the connections mentioned above.
