The Chamber opera: An attempt at an alternative opera theatre scene
The Chamber opera: An attempt at an alternative opera theatre scene

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes in detail the artistic, ideological and existential peripety of the Chamber Opera (Komorná opera), which was established in May 1986 and which closed down in June 1999. The paper summarises one chapter in the history of Slovak opera theatre, which besides several positive moments, was marked by unclarified competencies and the unfulfilled and often mutually contradicting artistic ambitions of personalities which formed the Chamber Opera’s dramaturgy and production during its 13 years of existence.
