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.

The paper analyses contributions of Otakar Zich, Czech aesthetician and theatrologist, to the theory of drama and opera acting. Zich's starting point was aesthetic structuralism. In his systematic work The Aesthetics of Dramatic Art (Prague 1931), he presents his view on opera acting. It is based on an analysis of performing arts that distinguishes a dramatic character and a performer. Zich believes that opera composer does not compose just the dramatic text, but creates both musical and dramatic situations. From this position further requirements for artistic work of opera actor are derived, especially the ways of responding to opera music.
