BIBLICAL THEME IN J. ROSSINI’S OPERA "MOSES IN EGYPT"
Mikhailova Olesya Sergeevna Rostov State Conservatoire (Academy) named after S. V. Rakhmaninov
Abstract. The article is devoted to the problem of biblical conception realization in the opera "Moses in Egypt" by J. Rossini. This piece of music has not been considered in detail in this perspective in the national musicology as researchers traditionally associate its content with the social and political ideas of the Risorgimento. The paper analyzes the features and interpretations of the Old Testament story and love-lyric drama in the context of biblical conception. The author comes to the conclusion about the fundamental role of religious principles in the architectonics of the opera.
