On 10 January 1873, the journal Dalibor predicted for Zdeněk Fibich’s Meluzína that its success would help to spread Fibich’s name within the ‘wider circles of the artistic world’. In retrospect, this prediction might have been a little too optimistic, as, up until this day, Fibich has been acknowledged primarily for his innovative approach to music-dramatic genres. This paper aims to close this research lacuna by shedding light on both Meluzína’s reception and selected compositional-aesthetic features.
