Stage Metaphor and Directing of Opera: Brno, Second Half of the 20th Century
Original language description
In the field of theatre studies including the area of performance analysis metaphor is still treated as a figurative expression which should above all have an aesthetic function. For several decades the term “theatrical (stage) metaphor” serves as a very commonplace and often used device of the theoretical reflection of an operatic production. The paper focuses on the notion of “theatrical (stage) metaphor” as a crucial principle of staging of an opera. The presentation aims to examine the notion of metaphor from the perspectives of conceptual metaphor theory and more classical definitions of the notion (metaphor) in the field of theatre studies. It will be focused mostly on the staging practice in Brno in the second half of the 20th century, especially on the opera works based on the plays by William Shakespeare, including the masterpieces by Giuseppe Verdi (Macbeth, Otello) directed e.g. by Miloš Wasserbauer, Václav Věžník etc.
