Bohemian composer, conductor and singer. Son of the composer Jan Tuček
(?-1783), he began his career both as a singer and as a conductor at the
Hybernia Theatre and later to the National Theatre in Prague as
harpsichordist. In 1797, he became the court Kapellmeister for the Duke
of Courland, Peter von Biron, in Sagan and Náchod. In 1799, he was
appointed Kapellmeister in Breslau and from 1806 to 1809, he worked at
the Leopoldstadt Theatre in Vienna and then in Budapest, where he
remained the rest of his life. As a composer, he wrote operas, operettas
and singspiels as well as symphonies, concertos and church music. His
compositions, though largely overshadowed by more famous contemporaries,
were well-regarded in his time and showcased his command of musical
forms. His son was the composer František Tuček (1782-1850), whose
daughter Leopoldine Tuček (1821-1883) was an opera singer.
