Introduction

The creative mastery process of the musical and rock opera genres has become one of the urgent vocational training problems today considering the growing popularity of these genres both in the world and in Ukrainian musical culture. There is a need to investigate the methodological aspect of professional activity in this direction like a set of requirements for the modern actor working in the music-dramatic genre. The lack of specialized literature and scientific works which investigates the embodiment phenomenon of vocal and stage images by actors in contemporary Ukrainian musicals and rock operas raises an urgent need for its consideration.
