Abstracts

EN

František Zvarík (1921 – 2008) was an artist with a wide range of talents. He worked as a drama actor and opera singer, he was a sought after film and television actor and concert performer of several musical genres, he painted, and he wrote a two-volume memoir. This study concentrates on Zvarík’s activities in the opera ensemble of the Slovak National Theatre (1945 – 1956) and his later, sporadic returns to the opera when he was a member of the drama ensemble of SNT. Besides the specificities of his vocal expression, we zoom in on his approach to opera acting, in which he excelled among his generation, markedly violating the performance stereotypes of his time.
