Herečtí interpreti Fibichových melodramů a jejich deklamační styl
Actors in Fibich’s Melodramas and Their Declamatory Style

Summary/Abstract: The first contribution to the state of the acting style and declamation at the time of Zdeněk Fibich’s melodramatic work is made on the basis of contemporary observations and judgments of theatre criticism as well as fragments in the published memoirs of the artists themselves. The oldest sound recording of an excerpt from Hippodamia (a scene on the walls from the first act of The Courtship of Pelops) dates back to 1911. A comparison with more recent recordings clearly shows how quickly this layer of melodrama interpretation is evolving.
