About This Book

The volume chronicles the formative years of a newly established national-language theatre and the emergence of a domestic opera tradition, season by season. It documents organizational efforts: casting and company composition, intensive rehearsals, repertoire selection and translations, costume and stage preparations, and the practical labor of leadership. It records the mixed public reception and financial and material challenges faced by the company, including accidents and losses, alongside the steady commitment of performers, organizers, and supporters. The narrative combines personnel lists, chronological reports of each season, and reflection on artistic development and institutional consolidation.
