Shakespeare and Opera in the Czech Lands
Original language description
Shakespeare inspired Czech composers almost exclusively in the genre of comic opera, but adapting a Shakespeare play into the form of a high-quality libretto was an extraordinarily difficult task. Moreover, it was difficult to compete with Verdi’s Otello premiered in Prague in 1888 as the first production outside of Italy. Shakespearean comic operas were first successfully produced at Prague’s National Theatre only once the quality of the opera company there had been stabilised, i.e. in c. 1900: Karel Weis’s Viola (1892), Zdeněk Fibich’s The Tempest (1895), Josef Nešvera’s Perdita (1897), and Josef Bohuslav Foerster’s Jessika (1905). the operas of Czech composers based on Shakespearean subjects aroused the hope of promoting the Czech arts in the struggle for national independence in an international context.
