Leoš Janáček Jenufa in Prague and Pilsen production with emphasis on the role Kostelnička
Karásek, Jan ; KUSNJER, Ivan (advisor) ; DOLEŽAL, Vladimír (referee)
In my dissertation, I deal in detail with the opera Jenufa from the composer Leos Janacek and the librettist Gabriela Preissova. In the chapter the fourth and the fifth, I aim my interest to elaboration of this opera in the Theatre J. K. Tyl in Pilsen and in the National Theatre in Prague. In next chapters, I reworked my personal interview with one of the czech leading opera singer Eva Urbanová, which performed in many productions as main character Kostelnicka. I would like to convey deep experience of Urbanova's understanding of the character and of Janacek at all for the readers of this dissertation. At the end of my dissertation, I summarize Pilsen and Prague production with the conclusion that Prague production is much better not only in directing treatment but also in the music cast.
