Leoš Jánáček - operas
Kyovská Šerých, Mlada ; OTAVA, Martin (advisor) ; ŠIMERDA, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis addresses two principal operas by composer, Leoš Janáček. These are Jenůfa (1903) and The Cunning Little Vixen (1923). The author’s inspiration sources and the method of processing the selected subject are introduced herein. In both operas, L. Janáček is also the author of the libretto, which forms a link between these pieces. The information is drawn from ample Janáček literature and, of course, from music papers. The direction’s point of view is based upon the gained information regarding the pieces and upon the examination of some performance interpretations. With this thesis, I have verified that a thorough familiarity with the work is an absolute necessity for one’s own direction intention. It leads to realize the fact that one can create various interpretations of one piece when having a deep and stable understanding of it.
