| Description | The study deals with Music Theatre of Walter Felsenstein (1901–1975), a renowned German opera director of the 20 th century. It is based on the seminal monograph of estimable size by Boris Kehrmann, Vom Expressionismus zum verordneten "Realistischen Musiktheater". Walter Felsenstein – Eine dokumentarische Biographie 1901 bis 1951 (2015) that revisits Felsenstein's directorial style and questions the presumption that he employed Realistic techniques in his operatic productions. However, the study does not merely summarize the issues introduced by Kehrmann. Since Felsenstein's directorial style gained acceptance over the countries of the so-called Eastern Bloc, reception of Felsenstein's work in Czech opera is the subject of inquiry, exploring the alleged influences and supporters of the director. |
