Abstract. The article is devoted to the topical problem of the research of R. K. Shchedrin’s opera and choral creativity by the example of the choral opera "Boyarina Morozova". The objective of the work is to study the features of the musical embodiment of historic personalities in the opera, and the main task is to analyze the interaction of literary and musical features in order to reveal the figurative side of the musical composition.

A. Zenkovsky "Russia’s Old Believers: Spiritual Movements of the XVII century", A. Vekshina "Ten Outstanding Women in the History of Russia") with different types of art (music, painting, iconography, literature, cinema, theater). The work has an interdisciplinary character; it touches upon the issues of history, philosophy, psychology, fine arts, film, theater, literature and musicology.
