ABSTRACT

Western opera is an art form that combines music, drama, dance, and stage design. Over its long development, Russian opera has formed a performance tradition that emphasizes the unity of character portrayal, emotional expression, and dramatic action. Opera performers need both reliable vocal technique and the ability to use physical movement to reveal changes in a character's inner life. The coordination of these abilities directly affects the quality of a stage performance. Focusing on the training characteristics of Russian opera, this paper examines the relationship between vocal technique and stage movement. It discusses breathing control, vocal characterization, engagement with a role, movement design, and the development of an integrated training system, offering practical guidance for the education of opera performers.
