Karel Kovařovic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karel Kovařovic (1862-1920) was a Czech composer and conductor.

In 1900 Kovařovic became the conductor of the national theatre in Prague, due mostly to the success of his opera The Dogheads. He began his career as a harpist. He composed seven operas.

Kovařovic is most remembered today for the revisions he made to Leoš Janáček's Jenůfa for its premiere in Prague, and it was in his version that the opera was heard for many years.
