The perception of the world as transient, illusory, the world as a fantastic theater was inherent in the musical theater of the Baroque "Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapour, a drop of water is enough to kill him," said Pascal. The idea of ​​the impact of music was one of the most important tasks of composers and was seen as changing the world, consciousness and perception of the surrounding world. In Handel’s Rinaldo opera production directed by Daniil Dmitriev the sense and perception of the dynamism of musical space and time, characteristic of the Renaissance, gives rise to individual fantastic forms of relationships between music and human consciousness, between sounds and thought.
