СУЧАСНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО РОЗВИТКУ АРТИСТИЧНИХ ДІЙ В ОПЕРНО-ВОКАЛЬНОМУ ВИКОНАВСТВІ

Purpose of the article. To reveal the specifics of physicality as an important component of artistic skill and to determine promising approaches to the development of artistic actions at the present stage of professional training of opera singers. The research methodology consists of the use of typological, structural-typological, and comparative methods to study modern approaches to the development of artistic actions in opera and vocal performance, the relationship between body movement and sound movement, and six types of intellectual skills that an opera singer should have are analyzed. Research novelty. The specificity of opera and vocal performance in the context of the development of artistic corporality as an important component of professional skill and the definition of the latest methods and approaches in the stage creativity of an opera singer is considered. Conclusions. Based on the study of the process of the development of the bodily expression of an opera singer, it was found that the problem lies in the disharmony between vocal performance and physical movements in the process of solo singing. It is noted that the relationship between different fields of art - dance, music, theater, and somatic therapy should complement each other in favor of a common goal - training that unites voice, body, lyrics, and music. Modern curricula for the preparation of opera singers should include exercises developed from theatrical technique, somatic therapy, and dance practice, taking into account the latest research in neurobiology. In our opinion, they will help a better understanding of the body and the relationship between body and sound, and expand the artistic and expressive abilities of the future opera artist.
