He resolutely destroyed the opera stamps, raised an actor equally owning dramatic and vocal skills ("singing actor") In his productions, he developed various forms of musical performance, in a new way and boldly solving the most important fundamental issues of opera art (e.g., a diverse understanding of the choir) The director updated the dramatic basis of the operas in some cases, returning it to the dramatic theatrical beginning. Nemirovich-Danchenko saw the main task of the theater in the creation of a modern opera.
