The given study presents the main terms and theoretical concepts of cognitive theatrology. The author aims at making the Czech audience acquainted with the foundation texts of this relatively new branch of theatre studies which draws abundantly from other disciplines, and indicate its possible application in research. Discussion is carried on what is the use of cognitive science in theatre research, which issues it can handle, and what methodology it employs.

The study explores theoretical works and managing activities of Czech set-designer Miroslav Kouřil (1911–1984). First part is devoted to two crucial periods in Kouřil’s professional life: his career of a stage designer, and the following involvement in theoretical reception of theatre and practical organization of theatre life in the then Czechoslovakia. In the second part, attention is drawn to Kouřil’s presidency over the Czech Scenographic Institute, and to the project of the Encyclopaedia of the Set Design managed by him. In the third part, the author concerns with Kouřil’s theoretical works, especially the way in which he used structuralist methodology to analyse theatre productions.

The article deals with the stage metaphors of Verdi's Otello with particular interest in the 1967 Brno production, directed by Miloš Wasserbauer. The main metaphor discussed is that of containment. The author compares Wasserbauer's interpretation with former and later productions depicting the main stage metaphors. The first part of the article deals with the stage metaphors inherent in both Boito's libretto of Otello and in Shakespeare's Othello. The second part of the article focuses on essential elements of staging which are rooted in Otello (including the score). The third part analyses the staging practice of Otello with special regard to Wasserbauer's production. The methodological apparatus of the article is inspired by the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT).

The article deals with changes in creating scenography for productions of operas based on plays by William Shakespeare in former Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic after 1989. The article discusses the procedure of a multimodal analysis of scenography based on blending theory approach. The 1991 production of Verdi's Otello of the Prague State Opera directed by Dominik Neuner and revived in 2009 by Lubor Cukr is used as an example of creating scenographic space for operatic Shakespeare. The scenography is understood as not only visual but multimodal component of theatrical performance. Vladimír Nývlt's concept of scenography for the Otello production is treated from the perspectives of multimodal analysis and examined in the context of other productions of operatic Shakespeare in the Czech Republic after 1989.

Based both on archival material and Veltruský's theoretical works, the study maps Jiří Veltruský's interest in Asian theatre and its influence on his thinking of theatre. Individual examples help to demonstrate the ways in which principles of Asian theatrical forms manifest themselves in Veltruský's structuralist and semiotic conceptions, such as character, sign, principles of semiosis, actor's/acting convention etc. The author also asks the following question: to what extend could Jiří Veltruský have contributed to the theoretical research of Asian theatre?

The study deals with theoretical writings of Miloš Wasserbauer (1907–1970), Czech opera director. Wasserbauer’s articles on opera staging were being published in Czech periodicals and programmes to productions he directed mostly in 1950s and 1960s; several texts are extant as manuscripts in his estate kept by the Theatre Department of Moravian Museum, Brno. Based on these materials and print contemporary references to Wasserbauer’s productions, the author strives to grasp and analyse his views on staging operatic pieces. Wasserbaure’s ideas on the issue are grouped as follows: the score as a departing point for directorialdramaturgical concept; realism in staging opera; acting as a part of rehearsal process; staging operas by Leoš Janáček.

Studie se zabývá teoretickým dílem českého operního režiséra Miloše Wasserbauera (1907–1970). Wasserbauerovy úvahy o operně inscenační praxi byly publikovány převážně v 50. a 60. letech 20. století v českých periodicích či v programech k inscenacím, které režíroval. Několik textů se dochovalo pouze v podobě rukopisu v jeho pozůstalosti, uložené v oddělení dějin divadla Moravského zemského muzea. Na základě těchto pramenů a ohlasů Wasserbauerovy režijní tvorby v tisku se snažíme vyložit jeho názory na operně inscenační praxi v kontextu doby. Wasserbauerovy myšlenky jsou ve studii sdruženy do pěti tematických okruhů: partitura jako východisko režijně-dramaturgické koncepce inscenace; otázka realizmu jako inscenačního stylu v opeře; herecká práce při vzniku inscenace; problematika soudobé opery a inscenování oper Leoše Janáčka.

The study provides detailed analysis of the work of Czechoslovak theoretician of scenography, Vladimír Jindra (1920–1979). It focuses on Jindra's at the time innovative taxonomy of scenography which substantially supported the shift in today's worldwide understanding of the notion of scenography as a complex theatrical discipline. The aim of the study is to connect Jindra's work with contemporary theoretical approaches to theatre, especially rooted in multimodal and cognitive analysis of scenography. Special attention is given to the elements of Jindra's work that predated Multimodal Metaphor Theory. The study shows that his conception of scenography is connected to the structuralists' understanding of the socalled 'stage metaphor'. This exploration should therefore show the reader not only the progressiveness of Jindra's thinking about scenography, but also outline a view on possible future research in the field of multimodal and cognitive approaches to theatrical scenography.

This paper presents the partial results of the ongoing research of scenographic theory. It discusses the institutionalized support of the Structuralist approach to scenography that culminated in Czechoslovakia in the first half of the 1970s under the auspices of the Institute of Scenography. Its head, Miroslav Kouřil, repeatedly claimed allegiance to Structuralist thought. Particular attention is paid to the methods and strategies through which Structuralism was performed within the SI, its projects and platforms. The topic is also treated from the historical perspective.

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.

The study deals with Music Theatre of Walter Felsenstein (1901–1975), a renowned German opera director of the 20th century. It is based on the seminal monograph of estimable size by Boris Kehrmann, Vom Expressionismus zum verordneten „Realistischen Musiktheater“. Walter Felsenstein – Eine dokumentarische Biographie 1901 bis 1951 (2015) that revisits Felsenstein’s directorial style and questions the presumption that he employed Realistic techniques in his operatic productions. However, the study does not merely summarize the issues introduced by Kehrmann. Since Felsenstein’s directorial style gained acceptance over the countries of the so-called Eastern Bloc, reception of Felsenstein’s work in Czech opera is the subject of inquiry, exploring the alleged influences and supporters of the director.

Studie se zabývá konceptem hudebního divadla, jenž je spjat s tvorbou významného německého operního režiséra Waltera Felsensteina (1901–1975). Východiskem se stala monumentální monografie Borise Kehrmanna Vom Expressionismus zum verordneten „Realistischen Musiktheater“. Walter Felsenstein – Eine dokumentarische Biographie 1901 bis 1951 (2015), podrobující zásadní revizi představu o Felsensteinovi jako o režisérovi, který ve svých operních inscenacích realizoval přístupy realismu jakožto uměleckého stylu. Přítomná studie si neklade za cíl pouhou sumarizaci základních tezí Kehrmannovy knihy. Ohlas a recepce Felsensteinových operních režií v zahraničí, zejména pak v zemích tzv. východního bloku, autorky přivedly k nutnosti přezkoumat situaci v domácím kontextu, resp. v českých operních divadlech. Záměrem bylo položit si otázku, jak byl Felsensteinův vklad do inscenování opery přijímán v českém prostředí a zda tu našel své stoupence.
