Learning outcomes

The course completes the three-year path aimed at acquiring the basics of Russian literary and cultural history. It is therefore linked to courses held in the preceding years complementing them and undertaking in-depth examination of topics related to Russian works and movements. At the end of the course students will be able to: 1) identify the main dynamics of modern and contemporary Russian historical and literary processes; 2) carry out a textual and comparative analysis using the acquired knowledge; 3) express autonomous and coherent opinions about outstanding moments of Russian cultural and historical development and analyse them properly.

Program

Русская культура через фильтр оперы: главные этапы истории оперы в России от XVII до XX веков. Курс представляет обзор развития музыкального театра в России от начала местной традиции до второй половины XX века. Будут приняты во внимание некоторые из наиболее значимых примеров, среди которых есть и шедевры, которые сегодня привлекают внимание крупнейших российских и зарубежных театров. Уроки будут направлены на то, чтобы подчеркнуть тесную связь между музыкальным и литературным миром, и в то же время дать представление об эволюции выразительных языков в двух секторах – литературе и музыке. Будут рассмотрены следующие тексты, в соответствующем контексте генезиса, рецепции и творческого пути их авторов:

A. O. Аблесимов, «Мельник – колдун, обманщик и сват»
A. S. Пушкин, «Руслан и Людмила», «Каменный гость», «Борис Годунов», «Скупой рыцарь»
A. A. Шаховской, «Иван Сусанин»
Н. В. Гоголь, «Нос», «Женитьба», «Мёртвые души»
П.И. Чайковский, «Опричник»

Основной язык курса – итальянский, но анализируемые тексты будут преимущественно на русском языке.

Учитывая методику проведения курса, запланированного на первый семестр, программа не отличается для посещающих и не посещающих студентов.

Отрывки, выбранные из наиболее труднодоступных текстов, будут предоставлены преподавателем. Для этого смотрите на страницу Moodle курса.

Студенты Erasmus могут обращаться к преподавателю, для назначения альтернативной библиографии.

Programme

The course will provide an overview of the evolution of musical theatre in Russia from the beginning of the local tradition to modern developments (18th-20th centuries). Some of the most significant examples will be taken into consideration, including masterpieces that today represent an attraction in major Russian and international theaters. The lessons will aim to highlight the close link between the musical and the literary worlds, and at the same time give an account of the evolution of expressive languages in the two sectors. The following texts inserted in their respective genesis context and in the creative path of their authors will be treated:

A. O. Ablesimov, The Miller-Magician, Cheat and Matchmaker
A. S. Puškin, Ruslan and Lyudmila, The Stone Guest, Boris Godunov, The Miserly Knight
A.A. Shakhovskoy, Ivan Susanin
N. V. Gogol’, The Nose, The Marriage, Dead Souls
P.I. Čajkovskij, Oprichnik

The course will be held in Italian, but it will include reading and analyzing some passages in the original language.

Given the method of delivery of the course scheduled for the first semester, the programme does not differ for attending and non-attending students.

Passages selected that are hardly accessible will be made available by the teacher. For this see the Moodle page of the course.

Erasmus students can contact the teacher for the assignment of an alternative bibliography.
