The body of the musicological literature has given a necessary
contribution to the notated history of Belgrade’s Opera. It contains, among
others, historiographical and review studies concerning Opera’s repertoire
from its foundation until World War II. After that period, we get insight
into the repertoire through the documented reports on Opera’s work
abroad, as well as individual studies. The subject of this paper relates to the
opera repertoire research of the National Theatre in Belgrade from 1970 to
1990. The starting point for the research of the opera repertoire falls within
the reach of musicology. However, given that the subject of the research is
complex, an interdisciplinary approach is applied (interconnections with
the sociology of music and cultural politics). In this study, the repertoire
is viewed as a dynamic structure which is a departure point for research,
i.e., it is kind of a given of the specific time, or a “frozen picture” that is,
at t...he same time, also a result of the certain repertoire politics of its orga nizers and implementers. Furthermore, the repertoire is also a construct
of the given period, in line with the possibilities of the institution. In that
sense, it is necessary to identify and analyse those factors that modify and
produce a repertoire, such as financial possibilities, participators (opera
ensemble, management professionals and administrative boards), public,
and critics. Some of the questions that emerge relate to available poten tials and the way they were utilized. Along with the analysis of the specific
factors, the attention is also given to the “totality of the picture” created
by those factors, and the mutually conditioned elements of this complex
system. Since the subject of research also encompasses a particular social
context, the self-management period, in this paper, I will also analyse how
the self-management and its way of making decisions contributed to the
development of the certain repertoire of the Opera.
