The article represents an attempt to comprehend opera semantics through opera plot and typology of personality, based on ancient themes. It is shown that the semantic nature of the vocal-performative interpretation reflects the main aesthetic guidelines of the opera genre and its mythopoetic origins, but it is most determined by the operatic understanding of the idea of a person and bringing the image of a person to the center of an opera composition ‑ as the highest value of the semantic world of culture and the artistic world of opera. It is proposed to consider interpretation as a unique performance system, which is a tool for performing music from different eras, as an interpretive model, that is defined as a vocal-interpretive model in relation to opera art.
