Summary/Abstract: In the opera King Svätopluk, which tells the story from the Great Moravian period, Eugen Suchoň combines its historical and mythological dimension into one organic whole. Musically, he applies mainly the principles of dynamic form. The aesthetic and artistic functions are closely related to non-aesthetic and particularly ethical one. Suchoň develops his modern drama about contradictory personality on the background of unified historical and mythical events.
