The museum launches a 5-month educational programme for opera manuscript restoration — in partnership with the National Opera of Ukraine and the Lviv National Opera.
In January 2026 the Mykola Lysenko Memorial Apartment Museum began a five-month educational programme 'School of Musical Archive Studies — Opera Manuscript Restoration'. The programme is conducted in partnership with the National Opera of Ukraine and the Solomiya Krushelnytska Lviv National Opera. Participants are 10 young archivists, musicologists, restorers — graduates of the Kyiv Conservatory, the Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy, the Kotliarevskyi Kharkiv National University of Arts.
Programme disciplines: identification of authentic author editions of manuscript partitures; paper restoration (stabilisation of tears, binding restoration); digital transcription from manuscripts into modern publishing formats (MusicXML); remastering of archival audio recordings of 20th-century opera productions; preparation of authentic editorial versions for modern performers. A separate block is devoted to the specifics of Lysenko's opera manuscripts — the composer made numerous author corrections throughout his life, and the reconstruction of the 'final version' of each work (especially Taras Bulba, on which Lysenko worked 1880-1890) is a separate scientific task. Graduation works of participants — restored fragments of partitures — will enter the collections of partner operas.
