INTEGRATION OF UZBEK NATIONAL VOCAL TRADITIONS AND OPERA ART

Abstract

This article examines the integration of Uzbek national vocal traditions with opera art from a scientific and theoretical perspective. The primary objective of the study is to identify the mechanisms through which traditional Uzbek vocal practices - particularly maqom, folk songs, and classical lyrical singing styles - interact and merge with operatic performance techniques. The research analyzes key aspects such as vocal technique, stylistic interpretation, repertoire expansion, and stage expressiveness within an integrated framework. The findings indicate that the synthesis of national and academic vocal traditions not only enriches vocal performance but also enhances the global recognition of Uzbek musical heritage. At the same time, the study addresses critical challenges, including the preservation of authentic national style, the adaptation of vocal techniques to operatic standards, and the development of effective pedagogical approaches.
