German dance criticism in 1830s Prague

Abstract
German dance criticism in 1830s Prague
In the early 19th century the Romantic era began in Europe. The German urban middle class lived in the age of the Biedermeier, the Czech society experienced a period of national revival.
In my thesis I focused on echoes of dance performances in Prague periodicals written in German language in the 1830s. I surveyed the dance reviews in three periodicals - Bohemia, Prager Zeitung and Ost und West ? and found a large number of articles on dance music and social, theatre and folk dances. My primary concern was the German dance criticism.
In this thesis you?ll get to know what was mostly reported about dancing, what the most frequent topics were, what the dance reviews looked like, how the professional dancers were judged by the critics of that time, who those critics were, how the movement of the dancers was described, what was reported about ballet and pantomime performances and what dances were popular among the people.
The expressions and phrases used in the dance reviews were reflected in the context of the Biedermeier era. The critics judged the plays and performances according to the aesthetic values of their time. It is extremely important to realize why they were writing that way about dancing and what they found interesting about it.

Bohemian topic in librettos
Babická, Tereza ; Kazárová, Helena (advisor) ; Brodská, Božena (referee)
Summary
The author split her Bachelor Thesis into two main chapters that are further divided in subchapters. As a first resort she deals with the topic of the Hussite Wars in a chapter called Choreodrama considering the subject of the Hussite "Beautiful Rides". Then in the chapter A ballet inspired by the legend of the Maiden's War as described in Bohemian chronicals she focuses on the motif of the Maiden's War.
The ballet Hussites at Naumburg was presented by Salvator Viganó in the Milan La Scala in 1815. It was a play with singing by August von Kotzebue what most probably inspired Viganó to compose his ballet. The comparison between the legend of Naumburg, the primary inspiration source, and the resulting ballet, is then treated thoroughly. Afterwards the ballet is confronted with the above mentioned melodram. Nearly at the end we are told how important the Hussite siege of Naumburg was for history.
In 1852 Jules Perrot introduced in Petersburg his ballet The War of the Women, or The Amazons of the Ninth Century. According to the libretto the ballet was based on the story of the Maiden's War as reffered to in Bohemian chronicals. In fact the actual story is scarcely to be found in it. There are several potential inspirational sources for this ballet and it is not clear yet what the initial one was. Today we have two librettos of the ballet at the disposal a translation of a Russian edition by Jan Reimoser and a French libretto. Both of them are treated with in this work. What is interesting is that they are not entirely identical. Finally the author summarises in a brief outline the productions on this subject that were mainly stage-managed in the area of the current Czech Republic, and she concludes by describing the development of the Maiden's War motif in Bohemian chronicals.
