Bedřich Smetana as an Opera Critic
Original language description
In addition to correspondence and diaries, Bedřich Smetana's writings also include a not quite well-known, but in consideration of his universality substantial set of his own literary texts. This is a critical activity in the period press, especially in the 1860s, when Smetana returned from Gothenburg in Sweden and became actively involved in Prague's cultural life. The composer's consistent journalistic activity from May 2, 1864 to April 15, 1865 in the Národní listy is particularly worth of attention. Smetana's articles and reports in this Czech newspaper reflect the musical culture in Prague, not only in the field of opera or concert production, but the composer also comments on newly published sheet music. This chapter focuses on Smetana as the author of reviews of opera performances. His music-critical activity in Národní listy falls in the period before he was elected chief conductor of the Czech opera in the provisional Czech Theatre. It gives us not just a view of the operatic works performed at that time and their interpretation, but is interesting as well in the context of the composer's later work as an artistic director of the opera, whose activities included proposing of the repertoire.
