This bachelor thesis regards the subject of Comédie-Française, the world's oldest national theatre. Comédie-Française is the only French national theatre with its own troupe of actors and a repertoire of over 3000 theatre plays. The aim of this thesis was to create a modern, compact, Czech-written description of the theatre's history, the differences between its 3 stages and its largely rigid hierarchy structure. The thesis furthermore questioned and tried to answer the competitive ability of a theatre house with a tradition as old as nearly 350 years and a very elaborate system of rules in an era of new media. The history of the theatre begins in 1680, when Comédie-Française was found by a royal decree of Louis XIV. Comédie-Française played an influential role in the arising new art movements, the revolutions and political changes in French society in the course of three centuries. Even though the most recent audience-studies in Comédie-Française were reported in the last century and therefore it is difficult to define today's typical spectator, the theatre did not experience any decline in visitors on average in the last 20 years, which is among other caused by the pro-active approach to reaching younger audiences. 40% of audience members exclusively visits Comédie-Française.

Řeháková, Kateřina ; Topolová, Barbara (advisor) ; Just, Vladimír (referee)
Bc. Kateřina Řeháková Searching for staging tradition of Bohuslav Martinů's opera Julietta on Czech stages Abstract The master's thesis depicts all productions of Bohuslav Martinů's opera Julietta on Czech stages since the world premiere in Prague in 1938 till the last one, performed in Brno in 2009. It describes staging techniques and their transformations and shows how the productions make use of other productions' methods or how they are original. The pivotal production was the very first from 1938 produced by conductor Václav Talich, stage director Jindřich Honzl and set designer František Muzika who - in harmony - created a performance, which was considered perfect by the composer himself. Jindřich Honzl came up with the crucial staging dilemma which impacted next directors as well: to stage Julietta rather as a dream or more as a realistic story? The directors who were able to find a balance were more successful.
