"AENEID" BY I. KOTLYAREVSKYI AND THE EPONYMOUS OPERA BY M. LYSENKO: DIFFE-RENCES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES BURLESQUE CULTURE

Abstract

Kotlyarevskyi`s "Aeneid" made a significant impact on the development of Ukrainian culture. A significant number of interpretations of his work by the various branches of art can show, if the main ideas of this poem were developed. In this regard, the article gives a comparative analysis attempt of Kot-lyarevskyi’s poem "Aeneid" and the eponymous Lysenko`s opera to determine the specific each author`s embodiment of the of the main formative element of the poem - burlesque folk culture. Several episodes of the opera show how Lysenko interpreted musical embodiment of comic elements of the text of the Kotlyarevskyі’s poem. Apparently, in 1910, artists stood before other issues. And burlesque specific outlook of Kotlyarevskyі’s poem somehow contrasts with the vision of "national principles", which was on the verge of importance in nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Perhaps the vision of the opera "Aeneid" was motivated by its authors through internal protest against the dominance of the so-called "kotlyarevschyna" in Ukrainian culture of the nineteenth century. However, this fact doesn`t cast a shadow on the special atmosphere of the poem "Aeneid" and only indicates its incorrect interpretation.
