Vítězslav Novák Pan

[Alan Howe]

Here's an interesting essay on Novák and his opera:

Thanks for that link, Alan. Lots of useful background for the reception history of Lucerna. Given the article's mildly negative focus (the last act is 'lackluster', for example), I was surprised to see (in an Amazon review by David Anthony Hollingsworth) the claim that there were at least twenty different productions of Lucerna in Czechoslovakia between the mid 1920s and the mid 1980s. During those years did Dvorak's Jakobín, say, receive more?
