This study, the first of its kind in our country, started by Luigj Gurakuqi and continued by his son, Nikolini, on the specificity of musical theater, is based not only on the internal experience of our national opera, but also on international experience. of directing and singing acting in contemporary musical theater, referring to the great opera houses of the West and East, and the great world directors.
