Tchaikovsky: The Historical Context and the Stage Dramaturgy of the Main Character ABSTRACT The article considers the historical context and the dramaturgy of the character of Onegin in Tchaikovsky‟s opera with the same title, and the change of his image during the opera performance. The article defines the meaning of terms “context” and “text”. The opera libretto composed by K. Shilovsky and P. Tchaikovsky, is compared with Pushkin‟s novel “Eugene Onegin”. Understanding of the problems inherent in the opera can guide the singer to more accurate implementation of the performing tasks. They include fluent knowledge of the musical text of P.I. Tchaikovsky‟s opera clavier, penetration into the figurative structure of this character, modelling the psychological nature of the role pattern, knowing of the historical and cultural context of the opera work as a whole.
