Czech Opera Competitions and Their Effect on the Czech (and Slovak) National Theatre
Opera competitions determined opera production in the Czech lands from 1860s to 1890s. In a very complex way, these competitions influenced wide social debate on the suitable repertory for the National theatre, on the appropriate shape of representative opera (features of Wagnerian music drama and grand opera were discussed above all), and behind the surface of open debate affected notion of the independence of composer and the autonomy of music as an art which significantly
constituted a confident position of the Czech nation in the frame of Habsburg monarchy. Only a few operas participated on the opera competitions, but many others
originated in the contest atmosphere and observed announced conditions and thus the authors could freely manipulated with suggested artistic solutions. In regular, the awarded works became officially acclaimed operas unfortunately without a stable position in the repertory. On the contrary, the other operas formed continuously everyday repertory.
