Psychological-Research coordinates upon the student – future opera soloist

Abstract

The opera-operetta performer is a person who dominates his/her environment, by his/her vocal and soul perceptions and qualities, connected to the psychical and intellectual ones. All these are facilitated by the structure of the human brain. In the search process for the image of music performance, the leading role is held by imagination, which has special importance in the psychical life. A genuine nucleus of the image afferent to performance is considered to be intonation. Usually, opera singers aim not at performing, but at understanding; not at reintonating, but at finding the most adequate intonations to the spirit of the studied musical oeuvre. The manner in which the opera singers conceive the task of performing displays manifold individual differentiations, strictly connected to the artistic personality of each of them. The performance is related to the artist’s frame of mind and mood of soul.
