The reasonableness of the deletion of three solo scenes (were removed by E. Napravnik) from the premiere of opera "The snow maiden" by Rimsky-Korsakov
The article considers the reasonableness of removal of three solo scenes from the premiere of "The Snow Maiden" by Rimsky-Korsakov. Often, the directorate of the theater does not really follow artistic aims. Main goals are increasing the popularity of the performance and the sales of tickets. Therefore, it is inevitable to use many kinds of cutting the play. Unfortunately, one way or another, this path has negative sides - the perception of the work is distorted, since not all scenes can be easily removed from the performance without damaging it.
