Notes and Editorial Reviews

Composed in 1898, “The Tsar’s Bride” was Rimsky-Korsakov’s tenth opera. Based on the true story of an ill-fated peasant bride of Tsar Ivan (“Ivan the Terrible”), the opera is filled with lush “cantilena” melodies. This 1983 Bolshoi Opera production features Alexander Vedernikov, Lydia Kovaleva, and Nina Terentieva, under the direction of Yuri Simonov.

Color, Mono, 158 minutes; Sung in Russian, with optional subtitles in English, French, and Russian. All regions.
