Abstract: The subject of the present research article is the interpretation of lyrical images in creative work of Igor Stravinsky. Special attention is paid to the fact that despite the anti-romantic orientation of his aesthetic credo as it was declared by the composer, the lyrical beginning was still there in his music. It was most brightly expressed in his musical-theatrical compositions because performance specifics and chosen plots imply intend this or that variant of visualization of lyrical images. The objects of the research are Stravinsky’s works that are rather contradicting in terms of their expressive contents. These are the comic opera ‘Mavra’ and fairy-tale ballet ‘Fairy’s Kiss’. The main research method is the analysis of libretto and musical text of two works by Igor Stravinsky where a lyrical image is brightly presented. Further comparison of the aforesaid works allows to define various aspects of interpreting lyrical images in the composer’s creative work. As a result of the research, the author concludes that in Igor Stravinsky’s works visualization of lyrical images have brightly expressed specific features including the fact that the composer is always an ‘observer’ ‘showing’ but not actually feeling this or that situation including situations related to the development of lyrical feelings. Lyrical images are either represented as a comical-ironical image like in the opera ‘Mavra’ or ritual-mythological image like in the ballet ‘Fairy’s Kiss’.
