Opera is the grandest and most potent cultural expression of the
nationalist movement which led to the establishment of the
Czechoslovak Republic in 1918. During this period Czech opera
developed into a genre of major artistic importance cultivated by
composers of the stature of Smetana, Dvor??k and Jan??cek. Czech
Opera examines opera in its national contexts, and is a study not
only of operas written in Czech, but also of the specific
circumstances which shaped them. These include the historical and
political background to the period, the theatres in which Czech
plays and operas were first performed, and the composers and
performers who worked in them. The role of the librettists is given
particular prominence and is complemented by a detailed chapter on
the subject matter of the librettos shedding light on the subject
matter of the historical and mythic background of the genre.
