Entre Rideau de Fer et Dégel : panorama des opéras soviétiques 1945-1970 by Tetiana Zolozova-Le Menestrel

“…The immediate post-war “Iron Curtain” years in the USSR were a time of artistic and cultural stagnation due to Stalin’s and Jdanov’s diktats denouncing musical formalism and exalting the method of socialist realism, with such victims as Prokofiev and Shostakovich among others, leading to stereotyped libretti subjects set to an impoverished standardized musical idiom. Opera was reborn during the brief Thaw of the early Khrushchev years as works that had been forbidden or forgotten were staged anew and musical languages that had been banned were adopted and adapted. …”

“… The aim of this paper is to illustrate the arc of the sequence of events through which Medea rejuvenates herself – as she has rejuvenated others before her, she does it as if she were simply disassembling herself and putting herself in her own cauldron to be reborn as her younger and stronger self. After describing the different and changing female roles of Seneca’s Medea, the paper gives a close reading of the text to show how Seneca uses images of the body and to underscore the way Medea uses her own body to achieve her transformation: to start a new life by returning to her earlier self, i.e., by rejuvenating herself. …”
