Summary/Abstract: The monograph Transpositions of Opera Styles in Works of Culture comprises interdisciplinary reflections on literature, film, music and image in connection with the art of opera and its cultural contexts. The authors of the chapters have used as their point of reference works in which there are various transpositions of operatic styles, both in the art of earlier eras and in the phenomena of contemporary culture (including poetry, novels, music videos, dance theatre, computer games). The conceptual anchor for the issues raised was established by the traditional aesthetic categories of "style" and "work" (styles of opera, work in culture), read in two ways: (1) because of the genre-form specificity and the individual dramatic, musical, theatrical, literary and other components that determine the phenomenon of opera, in addition to (2) a form of all kinds of signum of operatic art and its themes recorded in cultural works, allowing, among other things, the search for a paradigm of "opera-ness", open to various ideological, cultural and aesthetic readings. The approaches, analyses and interpretations of the works presented here take into account the preservation of the memory of the context from which the material to be transposed originated, and the results of creative processes are characterized by formal-artistic reference to the initial original (motif, theme, idea, style, thread, form, the entire work), establishing an indispensable element of the trans-positio process. It is thanks to this that the results of such processes are represented and actualized in art and culture, and with them also in humanistic reflections, the experience of the vitality of tradition, the art of memory and the melding of horizons, all confirming the multi-level symbolic and allegorical rooting of the art of past eras as well as of modern times.
