With a total of 35 completed ballets and operas, Bohuslav Martinu
(1890–1959) was one of the most productive theatre composers of the
20th century. Throughout his life, he was interested in the latest theatrical
trends and sought musical solutions to the problems they raised.
Consequently, his stage works are astonishingly varied; conversational
pieces appear alongside music dramas, works based on Dadaist or
Surrealist texts alternate with poetic settings, and opportunities to embrace
media, such as film or radio, are seized. Whether in Prague, in
Paris, or in his decades of exile commuting restlessly between the USA,
France, Switzerland and Italy, Martinu’s interest was not in theoretical
discourse but in »making real theatre«. The book contains the critically
edited libretti and scenarios of the theatre works he wrote between
1913 and 1937. The libretti appear in the original language and in English
translation on facing pages. The genesis of each work is described,
and key texts in its development are added.
The following works are included: Noc, Stín, Istar, Kdo je na svete
nejmocnejší, La Révolte, The Butterfly that Stamped, Ruce, Le Raid
merveilleux, Kuchynská revue, Voják a tanecnice, On Tourne!, Larmes
de couteau, Les Trois Souhaits ou Les Vicissitudes de la vie, Échec au roi,
Le Jour de bonté, Špalícek, Mariken de Nimègue, Hry o Marii, Hlas lesa,
Veselohra na moste, Divadlo za bránou, Juliette, Alexandre bis.
