Georges Bizet - The complex scenographical project
Březinová, Dorota ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is an opera of George Bizet Carmen and the scenographic solution. I describe my way to understanding the piece, the time of it's creation and the knowledge of historical facts. I also mention the relevant matters such as the history of corrida, flamenco, tradition of gypsy culture.
I tried to figure out the reasons why the opera succeeded although the initial failure and how it happened to be one of the most played opera piece up to the present. I was looking for the limits of mediocrity.
In the selected productions I focus on the public perception of the piece during the ages and I characterise the changes in the visual transformations and the contribution to the modern scenography. I compare art production in the leading opera houses: Royal Opera House Covent Garden (1989), La Scalla (2006) and Staatsoper Unter den Linden (2006). I also studied the Czech adaptation of Kolář a Tröster under the direction of Kašlík. I have asked myself whether restore and modernize the piece on every step. Finally I've decided for the update version and I consider it right.

Georges Bizet: Carmen - compex scenography project
Suchá, Klára ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
The thesis works out my complex scenographic solution of the George Bizet's opera Carmen. I examine the historical context of the epoch, a brief biography of Georges Bizet summarizes the facts that influenced the creation of the opera Carmen. And what were the initial responses to the first release, among those ranks as well a chapter on Friedrich Nietzsche and his perception of the musical scene in Europe. In the analysis of the world productions of Carmen, I focused on the current shows from Berlin, New York and Barcelona. In my sources of inspiration for my concept I present my essential experiences with the current visual perception, I also deal with the polemic of war and fashion environment in terms of photography. From these sources I indicate the stage and costume design, which is described and documented in gallery below.

Scenography of a musical theatre. Opera, composed by B. Martinu and G. Neveux, "Julietta" - a complex scenographic project
Brotánková, Anna ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to comparatively analyse, on theoretical level, Bohuslav Martinu?s manner of viewing musical work in connection with his scenical theatre pieces. Major focus is on composer?s notes and ponderings on then-common opera arrangements, and on the meaning of opera itself. The paper compares his style with contemporaneous tendencies of surrealistic avantgarde in scenography. Moreover, it addresses the portability of surrealistic principles onto stage, their dramatical potential, and different approach of leading czech representatives of surreal avantgarde towards this issue.
Second part of this thesis discusses and interprets opera Julietta (Snář / Dream Book), and investigates possibilities of its scenographic and costume arrangement.

Georges Bizet: Carmen - coplete stage design project
Trpković, Andrijana ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DAVID, Milan (referee)
This dissertation is dealing with a phenomenon of opera from the view of a stage design in the first place. Stage design is a visual arts branch, and students find it mostly very difficult to work with music after two years of working with drama scripts, and there is no so much time to penetrate the opera. While I was beginning to work on my first task, Bizet?s opera Carmen, I found that my knowledge of opera is imperfect and that to find important moments of drama in music, and how to perform it visually is very difficult. That is why I decided to dedicate the first part of my work to history of opera, mainly from the view of scenography. This overview is slowly approaching to my own idea of it and penetration into the problem. This also helps me with my own concept witch I represent and thorough analyse. Another part of work is description and characterisation of few production of Carmen made in Czech theatres during past sixty years and finally kind of treatise about how is it possible to work with opera today.

Albert Camus: The Stranger - complex scenic project
Strmisková, Denisa ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce a renowned French author Albert Camus and subsequently develop my own conclusion on one of his major works - The Stranger (1942). In the first part I introduce the personality of Albert Camus's in the context of philosophical history, literature and drama. I aim to explain the background of his life in the first part of the 20th century, particularly the influence of his origin in Algiers, at that time politically and culturally dominated by the French, in contrast with later residence in France itself. These influences promoted the principle of individuality in the work of Albert Camus and clearly directed him to his own interpretation of literary expression and existentialism. Further I outline the basic principles of this philosophy and I present his most important literary and dramatic works. More specifically I deal with the analysis of the novel The Stranger itself. The topic of next chapter is the presentation of Camus's selected work on the Czech as well as international stages and their specifications. In brief mention I present film adaptations as well. The second part goes in to analysing my own conclusions of The Stranger with a particular attention to the set design. This is closely related to the practical work of the thesis - designs of chosen scenes and scale models are included in the photographic documentation. I aim to explain how I use the actual text of the novel whilst adjusting its structure in relation to the stage design. Then I analyze in detail the various dramatic situations and scenes in terms of set design solutions. In short I present technical and lighting solutions of this production. Conclusion of this thesis refers to the contribution of Camus's work and its influence on the art scene of the 20th century.

Giuseppe Verdi: Rigoletto - Comlex scenografical project
Lippertová, Dominika ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
This work is a theoretical part of the scenographic project of opera Rigoletto. I analyze here the whole process of creating and the comprehensive visual concept.
The first part of the work discusses the foreign productions of Rigoletto. It is focused on the stage design of relatively contemporary productions. It compares them with the staging from the 1970's that is more classical in terms of the stage design.
The analysis of the productions is a basis for further analysis of the possibilities of visual adaptation of opera Rigoletto.
The second part is based on the previous analysis. It describes the way to the visual conception of stage design and costumes to opera Rigoletto.Visual design is based on a minimalistically conceived stage and a relationship between music and the abstracted geometric shapes of costumes as the art objects and of the stage design itself.
