Přestože je rocková opera spojována zejména s autory "západní" provenience, uvedený žánr významným způsobem zasáhl rovněž do tvorby skladatelů v Sovětském svazu. Dílo Alexeje Rybnikova Zvezda i smert' Khoakina Mur'ety (1976) je jedním z prvních příkladů spojení akademické a populární hudby v dané zemi; spojení, které odpovídalo dobovým požadavkům instituce Svazu skladatelů. Reflexe vzniku, produkce a recepce uvedeného díla objasní filozofická a kompoziční východiska hnutí označovaného jako Třetí proud, rovněž důvody oficiální poptávky hudby tohoto typu sovětskými kulturně politickými institucemi.

Bridging Deep Chasms: The Soviet Third Direction in Aleksei Rybnikov's Rock Opera The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta

Rock opera in the Soviet Union was a phenomenon with obviously Western roots yet inextricably tied up with and enabled by homegrown players and policies. Aleksei Rybnikov's The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta (1976) is an early example of the merging of academic and popular music desired by the Composers' Union. An examination of the genesis, production, and reception of this Soviet rock opera will shed light on the philosophical and compositional movement called "The Third Direction" - and why it was considered desirable.

Keywords: Estrada, Pablo Neruda, rock, rock opera, popular composers, Russia, Rybnikov, Soviet Union, theater, Third Direction
