The integration of multimedia technologies into the classical opera performances of the Voronezh Opera and Ballet Theater is an example of the synthesis of various scientific disciplines: this study examines the method-ologies of media ecology, performance theory and cultural preservation to study the interaction between tradi-tional opera art and modern digital technologies. Media ecology provides the basis for understanding the sys-temic changes in audience engagement and sensory perception. Performance theory highlights the evolving nature of “liveliness” in opera, challenging traditional notions of time and space boundaries. Cultural preserva-tion concepts are extremely important for solving the problem of the contradiction between innovation and tra-dition: while multimedia technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for the revival of classical opera, they also raise concerns among professionals about the erosion of historical authenticity. The methodological ap-proach of the study, combining a quantitative analysis of audience feedback with a qualitative assessment of artistic impact, allowed the authors to draw important conclusions: multimedia improvements not only enrich the aesthetic experience, but also expand the demographic attractiveness of the opera, contributing to its sus-tainability.
