Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to determine the peculiarities of the revival of the unfinished N. Leontovich's opera "Water Nymph's Easter". The methodology consists of the application of methods of historiographic analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, personology, personality theory, cultural studies, and hermeneutic approaches. This made it possible to collect and investigate unknown and little-known facts about the writing of N. Leontovich's opera "Water Nymph's Easter", to reveal and characterize the stages of its revival. The scientific novelty of the work consists in identifying the innovative style of the musical language of the opera N. Leontovich ―Water Nymph's Easter,‖ its place and role not only in the musical work of the composer but also in the entire operatic art of Ukraine. Conclusions. The activities of the prominent Ukrainian composer N. Leontovich, despite the persecution, state, and censorship oppression, made a significant contribution to the development of national musical art, promoted the folklore foundations and traditions of the Ukrainian people. His opera ―On the Mermaid Easter‖ became a natural continuation of choral art, which is considered to be a composer‘s laboratory, where the skills of a polyphonist, an interpreter of poetic content were perfected, and an innovative search for a combination of national and universal human values took place.
