Summary/Abstract: The main assumed Hostinský´s question in context with phenomenon of opera is not a problem of sort and genre this art array, but separate phenomenon and assumes of his creation, given by possibilities for connecting individual arts. The phenomenon of dramaturgy in opera and his theoretic reflection could be research in art of Otakar Hostinský on the base of his theoretic documents, but also from his popularization´s texts and criticism of opera. Some view on dramaturgy prax in opera, provide to Hostinský librett os for opera. We have to sense conception of dramaturgy not just like creation of idea and conception activity to connect with preparation for theatre performances, but also in original Greek meaning of this word. Otakar Hostinská stays on beginning of this line, which we can follow by clues till to Patrice Pavis, who defines main task for dramaturgy as „Study joint real world and theatre, idea systems and aesthetics. It´s going about understanding of method, by which ideas about people and world gains forms, that is text and stage appearences.“1 Hostinský understand dramaturgy and opera inscenation prax in a certain measure as a coupled bowls. To reflect one no mater on second is methodic not right and misleading. Hostinský anticipates movements, which is no consider as a dramaturgy subject for analyse, just set up of product and his parts, but at the same time determines, that her main task will be interpretation of sense in art product.
