This work is intended primarily for young opera directors and students of opera directing. It?s divided into four chapters. The first three focus on the development of theater directing in the 20th century (with a spatial emphasis on opera.) In these chapters, I introduce a theoretical view on, and trends in, the task of the
director. The second half of the work, chapter 4, offers a perspective on the practice of directing with a special emphasis on the director?s collaboration with the artist. The ambition of the work is also to place the work of important Czech opera director Bohumil Hrdlička into a Czech and, after his immigration, a European context. This under appreciated artist, and important European director, has yet
to receive a full treatment of his work. In my exploration, I focus on the entire, broad, subject of opera directing on both a historical and practical level. My goal was to realize the complexity of the
subject, interpret it, and synthesize it from the perspective of a director in such a way as to gain the necessary perspective on the field in the context of the 20th century, so as to be able to use this knowledge not only as a director but, more importantly, as a pedagogue. A similar historical and practical handbook, which
also provides a personal view on the issues at hand, has until now been unavailable to students of opera directing in the Czech Republic.
