The author, a pedagogue at the University of Constantinus Philosopher in Nitra, is examining a modern theatre genre - the musical creation. The musical has become a fashion, a synonym of something extraordinary and worldwide, regardless of its quality. It has almost aggressively started appearing at theatre posters. This phenomenon is observable almost in the whole Europe. We will have to cope with this idea without becoming pessimistic about the fact that a traditional understanding of theatre is due to this limited. To be true, such situation is in the history netheir singular, nor new. Very typical is the worldwide flush once provoked by Brecht, later by Chekhov, or by a naked theatre fashion. The quality of a musical performance depends on many components and factors. In his study the author deals with the musical literary artwork (libretto), and with the song lyrics which compose the basic building material of this theatre genre. Knowing the musical creation worldwide (mainly in London, Vienna, Budapest), he inclines mostly to the 'world- famous' titles, and based on them he tries to define their principle pecularities and create somewhat ideal and most frequently used model of a musical libretto and song lyrics.

The study focuses on the phenomenon of dream in two operas by Czech authors – Leoš Janáček (The Excursions of Mr. Brouček) and Bohuslav Martinů (Juliette). Both operas bring up specific aesthetic issues – dreaming in opera and opera in dream. The main part of the study is musical and drama analysis of respective operas and specific features and typology of dreams in meaning and drama structure of operas. It is specifically pointed out how dream represents musical concepts in both operas. Special attention is dedicated to interpretation of individual characters from the view of dream phenomenon. Both operas are characterized by different concept of dream phenomenon. Janáček was inspired by fantasy novella written by Svatopluk Čech and highlighted satirical elements even more. Brouček´ s dream is alcohol view of drunken Brouček. In this dream Brouček goes to the moon and to the 15th century to show its real nature. Thus, Janáček uses except for dream phenomenon also phenomenon of satire, irony and burlesque. Bohuslav Martinů used as a motif of the opera Juliette a surrealist play written by Georgese Neveuxe. The whole play is a dream. The dream is about young man who deals with the problem of his inner feelings. He desires for stability and the quest for his place in the world. By means of the character of Michel the composer points to surrealistic principle of search for meaning of life although dream is more important than reality.
