POHĽAD NA PRODUKCIU GLUCKOVEJ OPERY ORFEUS A EURYDIKA V ČESKEJ A SLOVENSKEJ DIVADELNEJ PRAXI

This paper offers an insight into the contemporary productions of Orpheus and Eurydice which have appeared in the world of opera in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in recent years (F. X. Šalda Theatre in Liberec, 2011, dir. Martin Otava; National Theatre in Prague, 2013, dir. Hartmut Schörghofer; Slovak National Theatre, 2008, dir. Mariusz Treliński). The author points out similarities and differences between the individual artistic concepts of the productions while focusing especially on the stage conception of the character of the central figure of Orpheus. The historical background with which the author opens her study serves as an introduction to Gluck’s opera reform in relation to his Orpheus and Eurydice.
