Content and physical description
ContentHe offers to perform his comic opera The Theatre Behind the Gate, which recently premiered in Brno. He proposes a placement at the Estates Theatre this season. He gives reasons why it would be advisable to stage the opera as soon as possible. The manuscript scores will be available after Christmas, and the National Theatre could make arrangements with Brno for the operating material. For next season he would like to commission ND to premiere a new full-length work with a very interesting libretto and scenic problem, which he is preparing [Julietta]. He asks if there is any agreement to lend the manuscript and material of the Palladium to Belgrade. He has had no news from the Belgrade theatre.
