Operas in Czech

39 works in the OperaPedia catalogue with their libretti in Czech.

Czech opera, from Smetana through Dvořák and Janáček, draws on the rhythms and inflections of Czech speech and on the folk-music tradition of Bohemia and Moravia. Janáček in particular drew his musical lines directly from notated patterns of conversational speech.
