The Ladder Of Divine Ascent In A. Dargomyzhsky’s Opera Rusalka Based On Pushkin’s Poem On The 225th Anniversary Of A. Pushkinentury

A. Pushkin’s poetic dramas attract researchers’ attention with the infinity of content, where each era, due to certain reasons, highlights the sum of meanings. It seems that the evangelical view, the most important for Russian culture, is the basis of a universal view on the works of the genius of Russian literature (if such is possible in the absence of special explanations from the author himself). Today, it is not only expressed but is also traditional in Pushkin studies. Musicology is also trying to follow the same research path. The annotated article summarises the semantic and musical content of the opera Rusalka; moreover, it mentions the opera The Stone Guest in connection with attention to the spirituality of the works of A. Pushkin and A. Dargomyzhsky.
