About Zdenk Otava
- Zdenek Otava (11 March 1902 - 4 December 1980) was a Czech operatic baritone who had a lengthy career at the Prague National Theatre that spanned more than four decades.
- Musicologist Alena Nemcová stated that, "Otava's voice had a very wide vocal range and a marked intensity, and while light, was extremely varied in colour, with an even tone, free of vibrato; his diction was absolutely clear." In addition to his opera career, he was also a successful recitalist, particularly known for his performances of the contemporary Czech repertoire.
- His voice is preserved on a number of recordings made on the Supraphon label.
