Šárka (Fibich)
''Šárka'', opus 51, is an opera in three acts by Zdeněk Fibich to a Czech libretto by Anežka Schulzová, his student and lover. Fibich composed the full score over the period of 8 September 1896 to 10 March 1897. At the time, Czech audiences regarded Fibich with suspicion as being overly influenced by the music of Richard Wagner, and Fibich had selected the legend of Šárka for this operatic subject to try to counter such sentiments. Even so, the opera still contains use of Wagner's idea of ''leitmotif''.Smaczny, Jan, "The Operas and Melodramas of Zdenĕk Fibich (1850–1900)" (1982–1983). ''Proceedings of the Royal Musical Association'', 109: pp. 119–133. The subject matter, the Bohemian legend of Šárka, which appears in 14th-century Czech literature, is related to that of Smetana's tone poem ''Má vlast'' and the opera of the same name by Janáček. Schulzová used as her primary literary source an 1880 version of the story by J. Vrchlický. Performance histo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jaroslav Veverka
Jaroslav (also written as Yaroslav or Jarosław in other Slavic languages) is a Czech and Slovak first name, pagan in origin. There are several possible origins of the name Jaroslav.

However, with the adoption of Christianity in the Slavic countries the name began to be commonly understood not as a reference to a pagan deity, but rather to the "fervent worship of Go1of the Bible. ;People named Jaroslav: * Jaroslav Drobný, Czech tennis player *Jaroslav Drobný (footballer), Czech footballer *Jaroslav Foglar, Czech novelist * Jaroslav Halák, Slovak ice hockey player *Jaroslav Hašek, Czech author, writer of ''The Good Soldier Švejk'' * Jaroslav Heyrovský, Czech chemist and inventor, recipient of the Nobel prize *Jaroslav Jakubovič, Czech jazz saxophonist *Jaroslav Janiš, Czech r ...
