Kurt Labatt was appointed director of the company, and now he has re-established the tradition of the house, founded by Director Popp. The difficult time of the course is best described by the director himself. He writes in 1939: "Never before has the director of a theatre begun two consecutive seasons in cin and the same city under such a different sign as I did. December 1938: A chaos of seemingly inextricable difficulties. Almost without funds, with a wintry playing body, in inadequate rooms, in constant struggle with the authorities, only the almost superhuman effort to start fewer workmates cine German play time. From month to month the contracts run. No one knows how long our "German Theatre" will be tolerated. The total commitment of all those involved, the magnificent union of our German people makes the improbable the truth: Moravian-Ostrava has its first National German Theatre. March 1939: The act of our leader frees Germanism. The Theator, the centre of German culture of our city, should and must keep pace and become a mirror and echo of the monstrous events of that time. The day comes when, after long 20 years, the crstc once again hears the words of the rebuke of the Stadt Theatre, which had been taken from the German against Reeht and Law. The German season is extended three times. On June 17th, at a time when he had previously been nic errichted, the "Deutsche Theater" ends the Ercignissreiche Spielzeit. These words applied to the 19ss/39 season. In the following season already from mid-December 1939 Hüttenarbeiter took place until mid-March 1940 in continuous succession in the Stadttheater German performances. But until December 81, 1940, the Stadttheater remained divided. On January 1, 1941, the house finally passed into the hands of sculptures from the German management. This day was solemnly celebrated with a festive performance of Goethe's "Egmont with the music of Ludwig van Archiv für Bergbau- Beethoven". Until the end of this season - l94e/4l - the general and tudustry history was a pure ensemble of spectacles which, in addition to its activities in Ostrava, also promoted German art throughout the district. Opera and operetta guest performances of the first stages from the Reich represented the musical genre missing in the game beaver beavers. The season 1941;42 also caused this shortage to disappear after our master of the Oberhürger took care of the house, and hcute is cin cigene's great operetta- The steam road in Moravian Ostrou 1907 Ensemble with choir and dance group another sign of the construction. In the short time of his 35-year-old bribery, the house, as long as it was under dcutsch's direction, has always been a worthy site of German art, but also a place of wrestling and passionate devotion to the tasks to be accomplished by the serving artist. The name that our theatre has acquired far beyond the borders of our city proves that the rest of the work for their stage was not otherwise used by everyone, but also shows the names of the artists who dared to jump on the biggest stages from here and who were able to assert themselves.
