The Opera Theater of Count Franz Anton Von Sporck in Prague (1724-35)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe opera theater of Count Franz Anton von Sporck was the first standing public opera theater in the city of Prague, creating a taste for opera that has continued in the city until the present day. It also appears to have been the first public theater in the Holy Roman Empire to survive for a sustained period of time presenting Italian repertory exclusively. The Sporck theater probably provided the composers Gluck and Stamitz with their earliest exposure to opera and possibly attracted Antonio Vivaldi to Prague in the early 1730s.
