The author continues in examining theatrical (and this time simultaneously also musical) traditions in Trnava. The Jesuit University had its residence here for almost a half century (1635-1677). Roman Catholic Church had during the Turkish occupation of a big part of the Ugrian kingdom its supreme authority, the temporary residence of Esztergrom archbishopric in this city (1543-1820). The centre of religion and science was also considered to be partially a cradle of art. Scholarship was in Trnava apart from university and Royal Academy (1777-1786) represented also by the 'Slovak Educated Brotherhood', or by the 'Brotherhood of literary art' (1792-beginning of 19th century) - and art which was meant mostly as cultivating music in monasteries of all kind and in schools of all kind - from municipal schools to university. There was a seed but also a vast focus of Jesuit baroque theatrical art in the Ugrian kingdom. Many houses of God were found in the city, but among them was also the first temple of Thalia in the Ugrian kingdom, a theatre hall in the Seminary of the Holy Virgin (1692). A municipal theatre was a gift which the inhabitants of Trnava provided to themselves among the first citizens of the Ugrian kingdom (1831). In the same period as a result of the initiative of a mayor and governor of the vicarage, the Musical fellowship was founded (1833). It has been operational in various cities until now. A modern musical body never existed in the city, but a professional theatre did nested here (1960). Always changing times have affected it in different ways, it was cancelled, then reopened, its name was changed, but theater and also musical art in this oldest preserved building has always been very much alive.
