The Orchestral Score in the Opera “The Lying Wolf” by Zlata Tkach

Abstract

This study aims at emphasizing the orchestral plane in the opera ”The Lying Wolf” by Zlata Tkach. In this opera, the orchestra is intended to illustrate the various moments of the dramatic development, in a suggestive manner. The author creates the impression of an orchestral dramaturgy, in which the orchestral sections are assigned different roles, yet somehow constant, throughout the opera. It is a score rich in colors and nuances, the main role being the game of registers and colors.
