Libreto Jan Löwenbach-Budín (1880–1972) v novém zpracování Maxe Broda (1884–1968) na motivy povídky Oscara Wildea (1854–1900) Strašidlo cantervillské z roku ...

Jaroslav Křička Libretto Jan Löwenbach / Budín (1880–1972) based on the short story The Canterville Haunter by Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) Musical production by David Švec Directed by Ondřej Havelka “Sober life has few charms, as the machine runs, so does my day. Illusions beckon a restless heart. I want to look for a miracle, a secret, a dream!" Krička's opera demonstrates the great popularity of Oscar Wilde's short story The Canterville Haunter. Wilde contrasted the lifestyle of modern Americans with the departing customs of the "happy English home", as represented by the ancient castle that the American ambassador buys, complete with an ancient haunting. In the opera, the setting changed (Czechoslovakia after the First World War), the authors also added a current topic: the practice of land offices. The love affair between Jiří, the Count of the castle in Satalice, and Elida, the daughter of the American ambassador, was also included in the plot. Křička used the period's popular procedures of the so-called operas of the time (dance forms of entertainment music of the 20s, jazz, revue style, film projection), but the resulting form was more reminiscent of an operetta, in which folk songs and waltz rhythms played an equally important role. The premiere of the opera took place on November 27, 1929 in Brno under the direction of conductor Antonín Balatka. At NDM, we present it in a revised version for German theaters; it was first performed in Wroclaw in November 1931. The author of the text adaptation was Max Brod, a Prague-based German writer who, among other things, contributed to the international promotion of the works of Franz Kafka, Jaroslav Hašek and Leoš Janáček.

THE WHITE LORD or GHOSTS ARE DIFFICULT TO FEAR TODAY – Moravian-Silesian National Theater (preview video)

„Až najde se kráska,
plavovláska tak odvážná,
že půjde přízraku vstříc,
nebezpečím zhrdajíc, jež jí kyne,
pak do hradu vrátí se láska...“

Křičkova opera dokládá velkou popularitu povídky Strašidlo cantervillské Oscara Wildea. Wilde postavil proti sobě životní styl moderních Američanů a odcházející zvyky „šťastného anglického domova“, jak jej reprezentuje starobylý zámek, který americký vyslanec koupí i s odvěkým strašidlem. V opeře se změnilo prostředí (Československo po první světové válce), autoři také přidali tehdy aktuální téma: praxi pozemkových úřadů. V zápletce nechyběl ani milostný vztah mezi hrabětem zámku v Satalicích Jiřím a dcerou amerického vyslance Elinor. Křička využil dobově oblíbené postupy tzv. časových oper (taneční formy zábavné hudby 20. let, jazz, revuální styl, filmová projekce), ale výsledný tvar připomínal spíše operetu, ve které stejně důležité místo připadlo lidovým popěvkům a valčíkovým rytmům.
Premiéra opery se uskutečnila 27. listopadu 1929 v Brně za řízení dirigenta Antonína Balatky. V NDM ji uvádíme v přepracované verzi pro německá divadla; poprvé zazněla ve Vratislavi v listopadu 1931. Autorem textové úpravy byl Max Brod, pražský německý spisovatel, který se mj. zasloužil o mezinárodní propagaci díla Franze Kafky, Jaroslava Haška či Leoše Janáčka. Ostravské publikum se mohlo s touto operou seznámit hned následujícího roku v hudebním nastudování Jaroslava Vogela.

"When a beauty is found,
a blonde brave enough
to meet the
ghost, despising the danger that befalls her,
then love will return to the castle..."
