Prague Operetta Theatres during the Nazi Occupation

Original language description

Operetta theatres in Prague experienced unprecedented prosperity during World War II. This paper focuses on the reaction of some of the important Prague operetta theatres and their owners (such as Hugo Kraus or Jiří Koldovský) to the German occupation in 1939. Using the example of Velká opereta (the Great Operetta Theatre), it concentrates on changes of the repertoire, acts of censorship or displays of anti-Semitism. How did theatres and their directors react to the new circumstances – through adaptation, collaboration, or did they perhaps attempt an inconspicuous resistance? Contribution to the conference Czech operetta and its international contexts, which took place on 23-25 March 2023 in Vila Lanna Prague 6, was presented on March 25, 2023.
