On the Way to the Jewish National Opera: Creative Search of Mikhail Gnesin
M.A. Karachevskaya

The article is dedicated to the operatic works of M.F. Gnesin, his attempts to create a national Jewish opera. This area of the composer’s creative heritage is almost unexplored by Russian musicologists, probably due to the fact that all plans in this direction have remained unfinished. In his operas Gnesin attempted to embody one of the main tasks of the composers of the New Jewish School: the creation of an opera on a national plot, based on the characteristic elements of Jewish folk music. The article analyzes the composer's three operatic ideas, which reflected various milestones of Jewish history: "The Abraham’s Youth" (1919–1924) about the boyhood years of the biblical prophet, "Bar-Kokhba" (1940–1944), dedicated to the revolt of the Jews led by the legendary hero Shimon Bar-Kokhba, and an opera based on the plot from the life of the mountain Jews of Dagestan (early 1930s), preserved only as the libretto of the two initial scenes. In the article some documents from the Gnesin’s archive are used for the first time (the text of the libretto and the working materials for the operas). Also published music excerpts from operas.
Keywords: Mikhail Gnesin, Jewish music, Jewish opera, Mountain Jews, Bar-Kokhba, Jewish history, Gorsky Jews.
