Цель статьи – на основе документов, хранящихся в фондах Государственного архива в г. Тобольске, эпистолярного наследия и других источников проследить становление светского музыкально-театрального искусства городского населения Западной Сибири в XVIII столетии. Музыкальная традиция горожан приобретала новомодные черты: воинские команды обладали штатами музыкантов; создавались гарнизонные и домашние оркестры при дворах высшего чиновничества, певческие коллективы, клубные объединения, проводились концерты, балы и маскарады. К концу XVIII столетия в Тобольске, Омске, Барнауле, Петропавловске и других сибирских городах начали работу городские театры, где было возможно познакомиться с современными жанрами – балетом, оперой, концертом. Развитие музыкально-театральной жизни сибирских городов имело специфические черты: значительная роль принадлежала местному и опальному чиновничеству, политическим ссыльным.
