Název v původním jazyce

Shakespeare in Czechoslovakia: The Comedy of Errors, Hamlet, and Coriolanus on the Operatic Stage

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter focuses on operas that were created in the former Czechoslovakia. The works of the selected composers and librettists were inspired by the dramatic pieces of William Shakespeare – but each one of them employed a different technique in adapting Shakespeare’s plays for opera. The text deals with the relationship between Shakespeare´s Coriolanus and its libretto adaptation by Slovak composer and librettist Ján Cikker (1911-1989). Another Shakespearean adaptation is opera buffa An Uproar in Efes, based on Comedy of Errors, by Czech composer Iša Krejčí (1904-1968) with libretto by Josef Bachtík (1901-1971). A complicated history is behind the third opera discussed in this essay; in 1969 Karel Horký (1909-1988) composed an opera Poison from Elsinore (with libretto by Václav Renč) loosely based on Hamlet.
