[Fabulus of the concert for the 100th anniversary of Yevdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry].

On the basis of critical analysis of sources the author reveals the role of doctors in opera productions, ballet and art in general. Looking through opera librettos and director's productions the author makes conclusions about characteristic human health problems, treatment methods used and the social status of doctors. About 10 percent of the four hundred opera and ballet productions performed today include doctor characters. These characters differ significantly from each other, depending on the time of creation of the work or the era reflected in the plot.
