Summary/Abstract: The study deals with time in opera as one of the most important category of a theatre and also of a dramatic text. It stems out from the comparison of classic aesthetic definitions and the conception of temporality in a theatre written by Patrice Pavis. He is trying to respond to a question what are the peculiarities of music which contribute to temporality of an opera work, and through practical models of several eminent Slovak theatrical opera productions he is exploring how the time dimension of a work of art manifests itself in a modern directional theatre.
