RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Ledvinka, Martin T1 Television Opera on Czechoslovak Television. Between Mediation and Creative Art JF Iluminace YR 2013 VO 25 IS 1 SP 63 OP 74 UL https://iluminace.cz/en/artkey/ilu-201301-0005.php 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. A survey of the production of Czech television opera, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, shows the fluctuation between these two positions.
