Content and physical description
ContentThis is a request for approval of the budget for the production of Bohuslav Martinů's PLAYS ABOUT MARY. The total cost exceeds the amount left to the Director's discretion, a total of 25 564,-. The highest item is the costume design, the ladies' wardrobe is 9 768,15,- and the men's wardrobe is 7 625,85,- for a total of 17 394,-. This high amount is due to the fact that the work has a high number of solo roles and employs the entire chorus of the opera and ballet, both ladies' and men's, so there is a high number of costumes to be made. Due to the nature of the work and the directorial concept, it is not a bad idea to use old costumes from storage even in the chorus. In the set design, the purchase of a bridge with double stairs and double console is an extraordinary expense in the amount of 1 250,-. However, it will be used in the future, it is not only a consumption in this work. It should also be added that this is an original work of artistic value, which justifies the rather considerable cost of its construction.
