Mediálne reflexie profesionálnych začiatkov Edity Gruberovej na slovenských javiskách
Media Reflections of the Early Career of Edita Gruberová on Slovak Stages in 1968 – 1970

Summary/Abstract: This study maps the early career of the opera singer Edita Gruberová in Slovakia (1968 – 1970). The author draws primarily on the reflections of the first appearances of this extraordinary singer, which appeared in the domestic press (specialized periodicals, dailies) or in the bulletins published for the productions. The paper also offers a perspective on the state and standard of musical, or musicological, journalism in the late 1960s and introduces the work of music critics who presented an image not only about the singer, but also about Slovak opera, through reflections of the musical and dramatic events in the Slovak National Theatre and the Jozef Gregor Tajovský Theatre in Banská Bystrica. The author analyzes reviews and short journalistic texts with the aim to create a retrospective image that outlines the personalities, circumstances, occasions, and conditions in which this world-famous opera artist emerged. The study wants to complement the existing, mostly foreign, biographic monographs, studies, and media outputs that deal with the post-1970 career advancement of Edita Gruberová.
