Opera Zítra se bude... by Aleš Březina and Jiří Nekvasil. Analysis and contexts

Abstract:

Bakalářská práce se zaměří na komorní operu Zítra se bude… tvůrců Aleše Březiny a Jiřího Nekvasila. Významné hudebně-dramatické dílo připomíná soudní proces s Miladou Horákovou z 50. let dvacátého století a stalo se jedním z nejúspěšnějších představení v rámci současné české scény. Cílem práce je analyticky prozkoumat kompoziční postupy skladatele, zmapovat vznik projektu, kritický ohlas, zasadit dílo do kontextu české soudobé opery.

Abstract:

The researched work connects opera and drama genre. The opera is musically built on the minimalist compositional principles. However, it differs in the evolution of musical ostinato forms and in their great diversity. We managed to decipher a number of figures/themes that permeate through the work, but they are not necessary for understanding the musical language of the work. It is advisable to add, that due to the large variations in the use of material from ostinatic figures, it avoids the typical meditative nature of minimalism in music. The primary focus of the tone material is on the number of contrasts and accents that highlights the documentary side of the work, that makes the opera enriched by the ways used in film music. Along with these influences and the involvement of the author's ingenuity "Zítra se bude..." contributes to the contemporary stage work by a comprehensively elaborate work of equal musical and dramatic component, which has a number of diverse creative details, contains a number of original partial and also general context, and works with inventive textual basis. The work is a remarkable and valuable achievement, thanks not only to the ori-ginal artistic proccessing of real events, but also thanks to its honour to Milada Horáková and - via familiarization with contemporary texts - educational field.
