Summary/Abstract: Opera Libretto is situated on the border of literature and music. Its controversial status is the reason of the insufficient attention paid to this genre from Philology and Musicology sciences. Another reason of the lack of studies of the genre in the academic environment is its (pseudo) invariability that can be explained by the traditional perception of the libretto as a secondary element of the music theatre. Russian librettist Yury Dimtrin is trying to change this point of view, primarily with his own experiments that show almost unlimited possibilities of actualization of the genre. The paper aims to describe a new approach to studying of the libretto genre in a connection with the theatrical experience of Dimitrin and to open a debate about perspectives for its future research.
