The first timid attempts to stage the Oresteia culminated with the production directed by Jaroslav Kvapil at the National Theater in 1907. Later productions choose distinctive ways of expression, comment on contemporary social problems (e.g., Miloš Hynšt’s production in 1962), and examine the human condition in the world (e.g., Jiří Horčička’s radio adaptation of 1966).
