This work compares two of the biggest opera houses – La Scala and the Metropolitan opera New York and focuses on its Opera Studios. The main goal is to collect as many information as possible and to get to know which one of these institutions provides better possibilities for beggining singers. Besides finding new information I have used my connections with current participants in these institutions, so I could compare their experiences with mine. I have found out two ways of getting into opera studios in general and got to a conclusion which one is more efficient for me personally. Besides practical tips, this work includes historical facts as well as data on notable operatic performers. My thesis should be primarily useful for singers who aspire to have an international carreer.

Subject of this Master´s thesis is analysis and vocal characterization of female roles in the opera Don Giovanni, composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I decided to divide this subject into several principal parts.

The next part of this thesis examines the opera as whole; its history of origin, plot issues, characters, performance traditions and main differences between traditional interpretations. As next I would like to address female characters in Don Giovanni opera. Finally this paper presents a deep analysis of the three main female characters of the opera with emphasis on vocal characterization and interpretation of their famous representatives.

The objective of this thesis is to provide an overview of history and development of American opera, ie opera in the territory of today´s USA, in the 20th century. It is a chronological overview of the main influences that shaped this development. It focuses on turning moments, historical milestones, significant opera composers and their core works. It notes the distinction between American and European musical traditions and focuses on the specifics of American opera art. This thesis was created by a compilation method based on several professional works by leading American musicologists and scholars in the field of cultural history. The reason for creating this work is the absence of any more inclusive or more comprehensive literature in the Czech language, which deals with this topic.

The development of drama in German opera
Morozová, Tamara ; HAJÓSSYOVÁ, Magdaléna (advisor) ; VOTAVOVÁ, Yvona (referee)
The main idea of this thesis is to describe the development of german romantic opera focusing on the significant evolution of its drama, in the musical, textual and finally the interpretative aspects. A selection from their artworks (with regard to the main topic of thesis) was difficult and highly subjective. They have created a lot of outstanding feminine roles, so I chose five heroines that have served me as individual milestones along the way for almost a century. They have provided me with a suitable structure to map artistic maturation and the development of new, original and completely unique operatic form.

This thesis is an overview of American song and opera repertoire from the beginning of the 20th century to the present and is conceived as an initial, brief look into this, in the Czech context still unknown, repertoire. This overview is meant to fill in information which is missing from Czech musicology and is meant primarily for singers wishing to include the works of American composers in their repertoire. The thesis is supposed to illustrate both the diversity and the general character of American song and opera repertoire and does so through an examination of the national character of American classical music, a brief history of American opera, a division of song composers into stylistic categories, and a selection of twenty-one American composers the singer should know.
