The current paper is the first of the forthcoming studies dealing with the dramaturgy of and productions in Brno State Theatre in late 1950s and 1960s. The authors present the principal questions, study material, and methodology of their research, supported by a grant project, which has been launched only recently inquiring into the artwork of the generation of director Miloš Wasserbauer, and the dramaturgy of the State Theatre in Brno in the given period. The emphasis is put especially on the dramaturgical concept introduced by the team of collaborators led by Miloš Wasserbauer and Václav Nosek. The authors strive, in the first place, to describe the dramaturgical ideas behind the opera productions staged in the theatre mostly in the 1960s.
