Šárka (Janáček)

Šárka (Janáček)

Šárka is an opera in three acts by Leoš Janáček to a Czech libretto by Julius Zeyer, based on Bohemian legends of Šárka in "Dalimil’s Chronicle". Written in 1887, the opera lay unproduced for many years and was first performed at the Brno Theatre in Brno on November 11, 1925 in honour of Janáček’s 70th birthday.

The composer had never completed the work, but, after the success of his later operas, "Šárka" was revised and the orchestration completed by his pupil Osvald Chlubna who had been given the task in preparation for the opera's eventual publication.

In 2000, Jiří Zahrádka edited a new edition of the score. A recording was made later that year based on this edition, with Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and with Eva Urbanova in the title role; it was issued the following year (Supraphon SU 3485-2-631).
