Abstract

Jan Cikker (1911–1989) is one of the renowned composers of Slovakia and special place in national culture is held by his operas, which remain a fairly rare phenomenon for the music of the XX century. Jan Cikker’ style is distinguished by the clarity of idea, bright imagery, and inclination towards lyricism. The theme of human personality developed in many operas and combined with the national theme on the highest level of composing mastery. The special theme of Cikker’s works is the interest to classical literature. The author examines the composition’s principles in such operas by Cikker as Juro Janosik, Beg Gajazid, Mister Scrooge, The Resurrection, The Game of Love and Death, Coriolanus, The Verdict.
