Musicologica Olomucensia

The significant mobility of theatre people and theatre companies which constituted the basis of theatre productions often caused displacement and disappearance of sources, above all the performing scores. The musical shape of the Prague Italian opera is then mostly inaccessible.
In the Brunswick Theater Collection Prague opera scores were identified, proving the continuous contacts between the towns. It is possible to find and describe the routes of people and sources from Prague (or via Prague) to the North. Comparison between repertories, personalia and events of theatre life indicate many connected facts, which call for continued research.
