Essay

The research is aimed at revealing genre distinctiveness of children’s opera in composer’s practice of 20th – early 21st century. Researchers and audience are today facing this phenomenon in all its diversity. For the first time this genre declared its existence in the first third of the 19th century. It is determined that children’s opera takes its roots in the tradition of Hausmusik and its varieties – home and school theater. In addition, folklore elements (in particular songs and games with active and dramatic elements) and church plays with a musical component involving children (is common among the western countries) directly influenced the formation of the children’s opera.
