Creative and ideological prerequisites of the director's appeals to L. Kolodub's opera "The Poet" are considered. The reasons for the need for a new scientific and creative understanding of opera in the sociocultural realities of a modern Ukraine are clarified. The scientific novelty of the research is determined, which consists of the original conceptual vision of updating the performance in accordance with the requirements of the present on the basis of synthesis of achievements of scientific thought and creative heritage of iconic figures of Ukraine and abroad. The purpose of the research is the need for new readings of the opera "The Poet" by Lev Kolodub as an ideological and integral work, devoid of the narrative of the Soviet era and the pathos of canonization of Kobzar as a "Superman", which is not characterized by human and romantic experiences, the research methods chosen: to determine the influence of world socio-cultural processes on the musical theater of Ukraine – system-analytical; to consider the creative heritage of L. Kolodub - biographical; to analyze the musical drama of the work — genre stylistic; to analyze the director's embodiments of the Opera — interpretative; to create your own concept of a creative art project — experimental modeling. The main results and conclusions of the study are obtained, which are as follows: a long break between the time of writing the opera "The Poet" by L. Kolodub (1984-1988) and its first stage reading (2001) is associated with subjective reasons due to the inconsistency of actions between musical theaters of Ukraine. The opera "The Poet" from the point of view of the composer's idea is definitely a new look at the image of Taras Shevchenko. In fact, Levko Kolodub invented a new genre of musical theater with this work — "biographical opera". Its versatility can be regarded as an attempt by the composer himself to "revive the classics" and bring them closer to the audience's perception. In this vein, this work provides a wide range of opportunities for director's reading and can live an active repertoire, ideologically true life at opera venues in Ukraine and diasporas.
A comparative analysis of the Opera implementations in the Lysenko Kharkiv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre and the National Philharmonic of Ukraine allowed us to determine the difference between the director's approaches to solving mise en scene due to traditional (theater stage in Kharkiv) and non — traditional (concert hall in Kyiv, in the past-a room for balls of the merchant's House) locations.
The post-graduate student predicted her own conceptual vision of the creative art project - the opera "The Poet" by L. Kolodub, which provides for the use of the latest achievements of scientific thought and original creative findings of leading figures of musical theater in Ukraine and abroad.
