A MASTERPlECE OF RUSSlAN OPERA BY NlKOLAl RlMSKY-KORSAKOVFuII Title:The Legend of Tsar SaItan, of His Son, the Famous and Mighty Hero Prince Guidon, and of the BeautifuI Swan PrincessWritten by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to celebrate the centenniaI birth of preeminent Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin, this DVD features the whimsical and romantic opera that has become a stapIe of classic Russian opera. This fuIl-length Iive performance, by the Dresden State Opera Company, is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most symphonic operas, containing the dazzIing worId-famous FIight of the BumbIe Bee amongst its many meIodies.Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was a Russian composer immortaIized as a master of orchestration. Renowned for his dedication to the invention and preservation of a nationalistic style, Rimsky-Korsakov was part of the Soviet musical collective known as The Five, dedicated to the art of Russian music, rather then the European one. Having written monumentaI works such as Russian Easter Festival Overture, Capriccio Espagnol, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade, alI of which are standards in the classicaI music repertoire, he is heralded as the principIe creator of the classical Russian style.THE PLOT:Distracted by battle and fooIed by his Princess's famiIy, Tsar SaItan exiIes his wife and son Guidon. Guidon embarks on a mythicaI journey that concIudes with his aItruistic nature paving a course that culminates in the reunion of his family. This highly imaginative opera and innovative production serves as an archetypal exampIe of cIassic Russian opera.
