The article presents the experience of comparing A.S.&nbsp;Pushkin&#39;s The Tale of Tsar Saltan and N.A.&nbsp;Rimsky-Korsakov&#39;s opera written after Pushkin&#39;s fairy tale based on the libretto by V.I.&nbsp;Belsky. It is substantiated that Pushkin&#39;s fairy tale with its high &quot;M&auml;rchenhaftigkeit&quot; (measure of fairy tale) (K.&nbsp;Eimermacher), &quot;fairy tale twice&quot; (D.N.&nbsp;Medrish), with hermeneutic adequacy is presented in N.A.&nbsp;Rimsky-Korsakov&#39;s musical perceptions, interpretations and creative development. Sound-symbolic, rhythmo-metric, stylistic-syntactic, lado-harmonic and other semantic overlaps that occur between the two works and give an understanding of their common &quot;measure of fairy tale&quot; are clarified. Attention is also paid to the semantic transformations of Pushkin&#39;s art-historical concepts of time in the opera orchestral interlude &ldquo;The Flight of the Bumblebee&rdquo;. A comparative analysis of the two tales definitely reveals some common ground in the overall research perspective.
