PT Journal AU Ledvinka, M TI Television Opera on Czechoslovak Television. Between Mediation and Creative Art SO Iluminace PY 2013 BP 63 EP 74 VL 25 IS 1 WP https://iluminace.cz/en/artkey/ilu-201301-0005.php DE opera; film; opera and television; narration in film SN 0862397X AB The study presents two different types of the relationship between opera and the audiovisual moving image: on the one hand, the suppression of the "new" medium and its subordination to the opera performance, and on the other hand, the highlighting of the intermedial fusion and the emphasis on the aesthetic potential of each medium.
