This bachelor's thesis maps the situation, in which the archive of the "Červená sedma" cabaret, that is in large part deposited in rooms of the Czech Radio archive, in the present days is found. It compares the dates from the former catalogue, that was managed by the members of the cabaret themselves, with the real today's situation. It even shows individual differences and discrepancies, that were during the revision found. This thesis also concentrates on the "Červená sedma" as a part of the Czech or more precisely the Czechoslovak Radio broadcasting and encourages programmes, in which this company occured, either directly by its members, or indirectly through the actors of other generations or memorial programmes devoted to it.

Staňová, Eva ; Niubo, Marc (advisor) ; Gabrielová, Jarmila (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the Domenico Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto and its premiere in 1792 at Nostitz Theatre in Prague. In the first part of thesis I summarize Cimarosa's life and work. The following chapter of thesis represents characteristics and development of opera buffa in the 18th century and then creation and genesis of Il matrimonio segreto. The work is also examined from the perspective of multiple structures of the libretto and music. In the third chapter the development of opera in Prague during the 18th century is approached and there is also the discussion about the premiere of Il matrimonio segreto. Due to lack of surviving sources, which would come from the late 18th century, however, can not prove most of the necessary information for the reconstruction of the Prague performance of this opera. The last section also provides a list of sources of operas that have survived in Bohemia and made their description. Approach is to form strands, where the opera Il matrimonio segreto is gained wide currency in the Czech lands and capture their deviations from the surviving German scores.

Oulík, Jan ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor) ; Županič, Jan (referee)
This article focuses on Baroque heraldry, specifically the phenomenon of galleries of coats of arms in the Bohemian lands during the post-White Mountain period. Using auxiliary historical sciences methods, three sets of coats of arms from 1660-1690 are analysed: 1. Heraldic coats of arms and insignia of benefactors on sixteen paintings of the Saint Wenceslas series in the Basilica of St. Wenceslaus in the pilgrimage area of Stará Boleslav near Prague; 2. A set of three painted coats of arms in stucco cartouches on the triumphal arch of the Chapel of the Virgin Mary and St. Charles Borromeo in the former Vlašský Hospital in Prague's Lesser Town; 3. Heraldic coats of arms and insignia on ten wooden plinths of statues of Bohemian patrons in the archdeanery church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Tachov. The article yields a series of named sets of coats of arms, and the identification of most persons to whom they belonged to, including a comparison with coats of arms presented in other sources (seals, designs on deeds for coats of arms, old prints). With the placement into a wider historical context and an analysis of the donor structure, the article also points to the composition of the elite at that time, stemming from a range of higher and lower nobility, clergy and burghers, and to the need to make...

The chapters of the thesis deal with the exhibition banner, the architecture (The Old Prague and Sample Village exhibitions), paintings, sculptures, commercial art (exhibition souvenirs). The thesis also attempts to trace the items and sketch their fate after the exhibition was over.
