Rimsky-Korsakov. The Snow Maiden opera.
Understanding the beauty of the play did not come to the composer immediately. The kingdom of the Berendeys seemed strange to him. “In the winter of 1879-1880, I again read The Snow Maiden and it was as if I saw the light of her amazing beauty.” Rimsky-Korsakov wrote the opera in just two and a half months in the summer of 1880.

Fairy tale as a genre of literature.
The fairy tale is one of the most popular and beloved genres in the folklore and literature of all the peoples of the world. The fairy tale is not only a poetic fiction or fantasy game; through the content, language, plots and images, it reflects the main cultural values of the people who created it. The fairy tale reflects the worldview of the people at different stages of its development. In addition to declaring values, a fairy tale still claims to be a lesson, however, unlike simply stated morality (as sometimes happens when angry adults scold children), a fairy tale narrative always provides a rationale for why this should or should not be done (that is, it contains a ban on any or the actions of the characters), and what these actions may ultimately lead to. Fairy tales are folk and literary.

Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky "Snow Maiden"
In 1873, A.N. Ostrovsky, under the influence of Afanasiev's ideas, wrote the play The Snow Maiden.
"Snow Maiden" The work "Snow Maiden" is an amazing fairy tale, which shows the beauty of the world, love, nature, youth. The work is based on folk tales, songs, traditions and legends. Ostrovsky only connected fairy tales, legends and songs together and gave folk art a very peculiar flavor. In "The Snow Maiden" the main place is occupied by human relations. At first glance, the plot looks absolutely fantastic. But then it turns out that living human characters are visible in this phantasmagoria.
The action takes place in a fabulous place - the kingdom of Berendey. Describing the laws of this country, Ostrovsky seems to draw his own ideal of social order. In the kingdom of Berendey, people live according to the laws of conscience and honor, trying not to provoke the wrath of the gods. Beauty is very important here. The beauty of the surrounding world, the beauty of girls, flowers, songs are valued. It is no coincidence that the singer of love Lel is so popular. He, as it were, personifies youth, ardor, ardor.
King Berendey himself symbolizes folk wisdom. He has lived a lot in the world, so he knows a lot. The tsar worries about his people, it seems to him that something unkind appears in the hearts of people. Berendey is not worried about money and power. He cares about the hearts and souls of his subjects. Drawing the king in this way, Ostrovsky wants to show the ideal picture of a fairy-tale society. Only in a fairy tale can people be so kind, noble and honest. And this intention of the writer in depicting the fabulous ideal reality warms the soul of the reader, makes one think about the beautiful and the sublime.
In the kingdom, simple but wonderful relations have been formed between people for a long time. The deceived girl Kupava first of all turns to the protector king with a request to punish the culprit of her grief. And having learned all the details from Kupava and those around him, the king delivers his verdict: the guilty must be punished. He orders to drive Mizgir out of sight. It is in exile that the Berendeys see the most terrible punishment for a guilty person. Honest people, worthy of the death penalty His wine; but in our code of the Bloody there are no laws; May the gods Execute him according to the measure of his crime, And we, by the people's court, condemn Mizgir To eternal exile.
The figure of the Snow Maiden is remarkable. She is completely different from everyone around. The Snow Maiden is a fairy-tale character. She is the daughter of Frost and Spring. That is why the Snow Maiden is a very controversial creature. In her heart, the cold is the legacy of her father, the harsh and gloomy Frost. For a long time, the Snow Maiden lives in the wilderness of the forest, and her terem is diligently guarded by a stern father. But, as it turned out, the Snow Maiden looks like not only her father, but also her mother, the beautiful and kind Spring. That is why she is tired of living alone, locked up. She wants to see real human life, to know all its beauty, to take part in girlish amusements, to listen to the wonderful songs of the shepherd Lel. “Without songs, life is not joyful.” In the way the Snow Maiden describes human life, one can see her genuine admiration for human joys. The cold heart of a fabulous girl does not yet know love and human feelings, but nevertheless she is already attracted, attracted by the bewitching world of people. The girl realizes that she can no longer remain in the realm of ice and snow. She wants to find happiness, and perhaps this, in her opinion, is only in the kingdom of the Berendeys.
The shepherd Lel rejects the Snow Maiden, and she decides to beg her mother for ardent love. One that burns the human heart, makes you forget about everything in the world: The Snow Maiden was deceived, offended, killed. Oh mother, Spring-Red! I run to you with a complaint and a request: I ask for love, I want to love. Give the Snow Maiden a girl's heart, mom! Give me love or take my life!
Spring gives her daughter a feeling of love, but this gift can be disastrous for the Snow Maiden. Spring is tormented by heavy forebodings, because the Snow Maiden is her daughter. Love is tragic for the heroine.
The Snow Maiden in love becomes surprisingly touching. A whole world opens up for her, completely unknown to her before. Now she understands all those who experience love yearning. She answers Mizgir with her consent to become his wife. But Mizgir is not able to give up his intention to appear before all the Berendeys with his bride, considering the beauty's fears a whim. The first bright rays of the sun kill the Snow Maiden.
Mizgir cannot put up with the death of his beloved, so he throws himself from a high mountain. But the death of the Snow Maiden seems to be something natural to the Berendeys. The Snow Maiden was alien to the warmth of the soul, so it was difficult for her to find her happiness among people.
Literary and aesthetic principles in A.N. Ostrovsky's drama "The Snow Maiden", remaining common to all the work of the playwright, acquire a unique originality in the "spring tale", which made it possible to combine in the work the solution of the most important psychological problems of the time with the entertainment of a fairy-tale work.
One of the original features of the artistic method of The Snow Maiden is the combination of pictures of real life with a fairy tale and fantasy, the poetry of nature with the dramaturgy of eternal human feelings and passions. In creating characters, the playwright boldly combines romantic and realistic techniques. Thanks to this special character of character typification, Ostrovsky not only achieves the reality and concreteness of the images of fairy-tale characters, but also translates the fairy-tale conflict into a psychological plane, which allowed the playwright to raise the question of a person’s moral ideas. Thus, in "The Snow Maiden" the same conflict turns out to be central as in Ostrovsky's everyday plays, only it is resolved not in a concrete everyday, but in a generalized symbolic plan.
In accordance with his ideas about artistry, wishing to give the Russian theater an ideological, moral, highly artistic festive repertoire, Ostrovsky creates a new unique genre - the "spring tale", which combines elements of already known genres - the fantastic extravaganza, the symbolism of the "play-mask", irony comedy, entertainment and at the same time the deep content of a folk tale.
A.N. Ostrovsky's appeal to the fairy tale genre is not accidental. The playwright does not simply retell the fairy tale, but, deeply processing fairy-tale material, involving other genres of oral folk art (ritual poetry, folk song, tradition), subordinates the fairy tale to the solution of topical problems.
"The Snow Maiden" is a poetic picture of the inner world of A.N. Ostrovsky and the world of his heroes in a subjective-lyrical refraction. In the "spring tale" Ostrovsky's aesthetic ideal appeared directly and openly in the form of the creation of the Berendey kingdom. The fairy-tale nature of the play, the lack of political specificity and proximity to folk utopian legends, fairy tales, unlike many utopias, characterized by a high degree of theorizing and providing a concrete solution to the problems of the political and social structure of an ideal country, allow us to speak about the expression in The Snow Maiden of the playwright's aesthetic ideal.

reader, makes you think about
beautiful and sublime. Indeed, the fairy tale "Snow Maiden" is read with enthusiasm
at any age. And after reading it, the thought arises
about the value of such human qualities as spiritual
beauty, fidelity and love. Ostrovsky in many of his
works speaks of love.
But in "The Snow Maiden" the conversation is carried on completely
in a special way. In the form of a fairy tale
the reader is presented with great truths about
the enduring value of love. The ideal kingdom of the Berendeys lives so happily precisely because
that appreciates love. That's why the gods are so merciful to
Berendei. And it's worth breaking the law, offending a great feeling
love for something terrible to happen.
I've been living for a long time, and the old order
Quite well known to me. Berendey,
Beloved by the gods, lived honestly.
Without fear, we entrusted the daughter to the guy,
A wreath for us is a guarantee of their love
And faithful to death. And never
The wreath was not desecrated by treason,
And the girls did not know deceit,
They did not know resentment. It is no coincidence that Mizgir's betrayal of Kupava was so painful
in everyone around. Everyone took the bad
guy's behavior as a personal insult:
... Everyone is offended,
Offense to all Berendeyka girls! In the realm between people for a long time
a simple but wonderful relationship develops.
The deceived girl Kupava first of all refers to
protector king with a request to punish the culprit of her
grief. And having learned all the details from Kupava and
surrounding, the king issues his verdict: guilty
should be punished. What punishment does the king choose?
He orders to drive Mizgir out of sight. Exactly at
exile see berendey the worst punishment
for the wrong person.
There are no bloody laws in the kingdom. This could be
only in a fairy tale created by the imagination
writer. And this humanity makes the kingdom of the Berendeys
even more beautiful and pure. The figure of the Snow Maiden is remarkable. She is completely
not like everyone around. Snow Maiden - fabulous
character. She is the daughter of Frost and Spring.
That is why the Snow Maiden is a very

in the kingdom of the Berendeys. She says to her mother:

The image of the fairy-tale heroine Snegurochka was formed in the public consciousness gradually over the centuries. . In 1873 A. N. Ostrovsky, influenced by the ideas of Afanasiev, wrote the play The Snow Maiden. Initially, the play was not successful with the public. Spring fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky was highly appreciated by A.I. Goncharov and I.S. Turgenev, however, many responses from contemporaries were sharply negative.

The pedigree of the Snow Maiden is indistinct and obscure. It is impossible to say exactly when the Snow Maiden established herself in the status of Grandfather Frost's "granddaughter". Undoubtedly, the image of the Snow Maiden is a mutation and transformation of many pre-Christian beliefs, myths and customs. First of all, this applies to such holidays as Shrovetide, Krasnaya Gorka, when the villagers called out to spring, Yarilino Gulbishche, the funeral of Kostroma. Russian Orthodoxy absorbed many pagan ideas. So, the Orthodox holiday of the Trinity, celebrated as the day of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles, in Russia merged with the ancient Slavic holiday Semik, associated with the veneration of the spirits of vegetation.

The most famous literary work about the Snow Maiden is the play of the same name by A.N. Ostrovsky, written in 1873. In the drama "The Snow Maiden" (the writer defined its genre as a "spring tale") A.N. Ostrovsky makes an attempt to touch the deep sources of Russian and Slavic culture, to learn the secrets of folk mythology. The work “The Snow Maiden” is an amazing fairy tale, which shows the beauty of the world, love, nature, youth.

There is nothing surprising in the fact that the theatrical production of The Snow Maiden by the Moscow Maly Theater (Maly 11, 1873) actually failed. Only at the beginning of the 20th century did A.N. Ostrovsky was appreciated. A.P. Lensky, who staged The Snow Maiden in September 1900 in Moscow, remarked: “Ostrovsky would have had plenty of imagination to fill his fairy tale to the brim with native devilry. But he, apparently, deliberately saved fantastic elements, saved in order not to overshadow another, more complex element - the poetic one - with the enchantment.

In 1873, music for the “spring tale” by A.N. Ostrovsky "The Snow Maiden" was written by P.I. Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). Responses to the musical accompaniment of the play were mixed. A certain P. Akilov noted in Theatrical Notes that the music for The Snow Maiden is monotonous "to the point of falling asleep." Perhaps this impression was facilitated by the disgusting performance of musical numbers by the orchestra conducted by I.O. Shramek. Solar music for the spring fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky cannot but evoke positive emotions. It is no coincidence that P.I. Tchaikovsky defined his idea as follows: "There should be a noticeable joyful, spring mood in this music."

Lilina, Lel - M.F. Andreeva. In 1880, from the pen of N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908), the opera The Snow Maiden was released - one of the pinnacles of Russian musical classics.

The opera was composed in the summer of 1880 in a remote Russian village. The composer later said that not a single work was given to him with such ease and speed as The Snow Maiden. In 1881 the opera was completed. The premiere, which took place on January 29 (February 10) of the following year at the Mariinsky Theater, was a great success. A. N. Ostrovsky also enthusiastically accepted the opera: “The music for my “Snow Maiden” is amazing, I could never imagine anything more suitable for it and so vividly expressing all the poetry of the Russian pagan cult and this first snow-cold, and then irresistibly passionate fairy tale heroines.

In the late 1960s, the famous Soviet actor Pavel Kadochnikov realized his director's plan - he directed the film "The Snow Maiden" based on the play of the same name by A.N. Ostrovsky. The picture was released in 1970. The roles were played by: Evgenia Filonova (Snow Maiden), Pavel Kadochnikov (Tsar Berendey), Evgeny Zharikov (Lel), Irina Gubanova (Kupava), Boris Khimichev (Mizgir), Sergey Filippov (Bermyata), Natalya Klimova (Spring-Krasna), Lyubov Malinovskaya (bobylikha), Valery Malyshev (Brusilo), Gennady Nilov (Smoking room).

It must be said that Kadochnikov approached the creation of this film fairy tale very seriously, because in his youth (long before the “Feat of the Scout”) he played the role of Lel in the theater. That is why, apparently, for this role in his film, he chose not a feminine bunny boy, but E. Zharikov, who was imprisoned a priori for something so heroic, for example, for the role of a police chief in the TV series Born of the Revolution.

In the frame - the life of the tribe, headed by a certain sorcerer (says a lot of philosophical things). Ostrovsky himself defines the time and place as follows: “The action takes place in the country of the Berendeys in prehistoric times. Prologue on Krasnaya Gorka, near Berendeev Posad...”

The work of A.N. Ostrovsky revolutionized the Russian theater. Already his first plays showed on the stage a world well known to the playwright himself, but completely unknown to readers and spectators of the middle of the 19th century. The dramaturgy of Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky marked an important stage in the development of the Russian national theater. As a playwright and director, Ostrovsky contributed to the formation of a new school of realistic acting.

in the loss of love and sense of beauty:
In the hearts of people I noticed I will cool

- "The Snow Maiden" by A.N. Ostrovsky, created for a festive performance and intended for a democratic audience, is of great interest. This is “multi-layered, multi-level work”, which contained a folk tale, an idea of the ancient Berendey tribe(Turkic nomads who lived in the southern Russian steppes (XI-XIII centuries); from 1146 they became vassals of Russian princes. The name in the annals disappears by the XIII century) , ancient calendar rituals, songs, spells.
- The poetic drama was based on one of eternal stories of Russian folklore about how a beautiful girl - a snowmaiden - comes into the world and dies from a sunbeam. And the closest source was the folk tale about the Snow Maiden, published in 1862 by the collector I.A. Khudyakov. The playwright read the works of the famous mythologist and folklorist A.N. Afanasyev: collection "Russian folk tales" (1826-1871) and study "Poetic views of the Slavs on nature" (1865-1869). "Borrowed" plot was just a reason for the birth original artistic intent.

Dal)) Berendeys perform their spring rituals, sing folk songs -“ the very ones that, perhaps, once sounded on our land at the time of spring games, in distant pagan times.
