Abstract. This article is devoted to the vocal works of the outstanding Russian composer
Alexander Vladimirovich Tchaikovsky. The perspective of the study is the manifestation
of theatricality in the composer’s vocal cycles. The quality of theatricality was formed
by the conditions of Tchaikovsky’s personal formation in the atmosphere of professional
activity of the closest members of his family. His father, Vladimir Alexandrovich
Tchaikovsky, was the director of the Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow
Music Theatre. His work in the 1960–70s had a huge impact on the personality of the
future composer. His uncle, Boris Alexandrovich Tchaikovsky, was an outstanding
Soviet composer. The vocal cycles of Alexander Tchaikovsky show the tendency towards
theatricalisation of vocal works, which developed in Western European and Russian
musical art of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Keywords: Alexander Tchaikovsky, vocal music, vocal cycle, theatricality, four songs-
