Sažetak
After many struggles, Zagreb National Theatre Opera department came into being in 1870. Until the outbreak of the Great War, not only national repertoire was presented to its audience, but also standard operatic output, as well as a series of operettas composed by domestic and foreign authors. A rather small theatre (actually, two of them), to some extent peripheral in relation to the central Austro-Hungarian theatres such as those in Vienna, Budapest or Prague, continuously struggled with financial problems, what was also reflected in simple and sometimes even uniformed decorations of the stage. How were presented exotic aspects in chosen performances of operas and operettas, domestic and foreign (such as Goldmark’s Königin von Saba, Sullivan’s Mikado, or Zajc’s Nach Mekka)? What was actually observed and considered as exoticism? Was it just something ‘different’ and ‘other’, or something that points to the distant countries and cultures and causes nostalgia and longing? Was it just a mere entertainment, or an educational window to something unknown that stimulates the imagination and arouses curiosity? How was exoticism presented in staging operas and operettas: was it more seriously treated and perceived in the ‘high culture’ than in operettas? Were there any traces of influence from the ‘central’ theatres to be found? This paper will try to give answers on these questions, mostly based on newspapers’ reports as well as on rare materials from the theatre archives.
