Michal Docolomanský
After finishing vocational school as an auto mechanic, he
applied and was accepted in the year 1960 to the Bratislava
Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. In the same year he
started to work as a guest actor at Slovak National Theatre and
Nova scéna in Bratislava. Since 1964 he has been a member of
the drama company of the Slovak National Theatre in
Bratislava.
As a young and talented actor, he quickly started to appear in
both Slovak and Czech films, Slovak television and Slovak
radio. We cannot name all the films, plays or television specials
that he appeared in, but some of the more famous films are:
Adela ešte nevecerala (Adela has not had supper
yet)
Nocní jazdci (Night Riders)
Do zbrane Kuruci (To arms Kuruci)
Svako Ragan
Tisícrocná vcela (A thousand year old bee)
Jedenáste prikázanie (Eleventh commandment)
As a dynamic actor he plays comic characters and softly ironic
romantic lovers in such plays as Shakespears A Midsummer
Night’s Dream, Peer Gynts Ibsen, Carlos Homenides Bee in a
Bonnet. Some of the others include:

night in a secret apartment)

The most famous of his work is the musical "Na skle
malované" (Painted on Glass) by Bryll - Gärtnerová, which has
been in production at the Slovak National Theatre for over 23
years with close to 500 sold out performances. In this
production, as the leading character, he utilizes his musical and
dancing talents to portray "Jánošík" - (Slovak Robin Hood).
Today, Michal Docolomanský is considered in Slovakia to be
one of the leading actors and his face is seen often on Slovak
Television and on Slovak radio. He has received the honour of
