AB  - The paper briefly introduces the castle theatre in the residence of the order of Teutonic Knights in Bruntál, in particular its operation, repertoire, reprise rate of opera works and turnout. It also mentions the relationships between the Bruntál music-theatre stage and the nearby opera centres in Silesia and Northern Moravia at the turn of the 1800s, which had an important influence on the establishment of the repertoire of the castle theatre. The paper focuses on the personalities of the Bruntál theatre stage - Franz Josef Krones and especially Franz Josef von Thürheim, as well as on the transfer of sheet music among the neighbouring theatre centres, and the opera repertoire performed in the Bruntál theatre in the particular period with the emphasis on operas by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf. The study also presents the preserved copies of Ditters' operas, which belong to important evidence of the existence of the order's castle theatre in Silesia.
