This article points out the necessity to research theatrical life in Moravia separately while its development until 1918 differed enormously from that in Bohemia and Silesia, as the author claims. The research has to go much further than understanding theatre history as a picture of isolated national cultures. The multicultural aspect of theatrical life has to be respected, considering the fact that the German-speaking productions predominated in this region until 1918. Lacking its own cultural centre, Moravia became the place of transition in which various forms of European theatre collided and coexisted.
