Shapinskaya E.N. Musical Fantasy on the Theme
of «The Tempest»:
Interpretation of Shakespeare’s Play
by the Language of Modern Opera
Abstract:
The problem of interpretation of a classical work of art with the help of modern artistic
language has been examined in the paper. Opera “The Tempest” by the contemporary British
composer Thomas Ades based on the play by Shakespeare and its stage representation have been
analysed. The author shows the importance of fantasy element in Shakespeare’s work which helps
the composer to show a number of problems of human existence, morals, power, love in a fairy-tale
form, which accents the universality of these problems. The article also poses the problem of translating
the meanings of the work in a different cultural context and in another cultural form. Methods
of textual analysis of materials concerning the work of Th.Ades and its stage representation have
been used as well as semantic analysis of cultural texts (the literary source and the operatic text).
Elements of comparative study are also present in the paper. The novelty of the research work is
in posing the problem of interpretation of a classical work not only by the language of a different
period, but by another cultural form, which creates a complicated interpretative matrix. The author
introduces into the field of Shakespearean studies the work of Thomas Ades, one of the most interesting
composers of our time, who created an original and talented version of “The tempest” by Shakespeare
for contemporary opera scene.
