Beschreibung
This study traces the codification of gender in Soviet Russian opera during Stalinism and the long Soviet sixties. It introduces the concepts of ‘masculinization’ and ‘feminization’ to describe the transition from operas dominated by martial, idealized male heroes to those with complex female protagonists that challenge and deconstruct Stalinist operatic conventions. Through detailed analyses of works by Tikhon Khrennikov, Sergey Prokofiev, Dmitry Kabalevsky, Rodion Shchedrin, Sergey Slonimsky and Kirill Molchanov, the study examines how opera reflects broader socio-political and cultural changes, contributing to musicology, gender studies and Soviet cultural history.
