The paper examines the work of the acclaimed German opera and theatre director Peter Konwitschny at the Opera of the Slovak National Theatre. The author bases herself on an analysis of the productions of Eugen Onegin (2005), by Tchaikovsky, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly (2007) and Bohéma (2013), Janáček‘s Vec Makropulos (2015), and Halévy‘s Židovka (2017), all of which, save for Janáček‘s opera, the Opera of the Slovak National Theatre has borrowed from foreign theatre scenes. The author makes a stocklist of the basic principles of Konwitschny’s direction signature and his contribution to theatre production, as well as to the artistic ensemble of the Bratislava Opera.
