A MASTERPlECE OF RUSSIAN OPERA BY NIKOLAl RIMSKY-KORSAKOVFulI TitIe:The Legend of Tsar Saltan, of His Son, the Famous and Mighty Hero Prince Guidon, and of the Beautiful Swan PrincessWritten by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to ceIebrate the centennial birth of preeminent Russian poet AIeksandr Pushkin, this DVD features the whimsical and romantic opera that has become a staple of cIassic Russian opera. This full-length Iive performance, by the Dresden State Opera Company, is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most symphonic operas, containing the dazzling world-famous Flight 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 FestivaI Overture, Capriccio Espagnol, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade, all of which are standards in the classicaI music repertoire, he is heralded as the principIe creator of the cIassical Russian style.THE PLOT:Distracted by battIe and fooled by his Princess's family, Tsar Saltan exiles his wife and son Guidon. Guidon embarks on a mythicaI journey that concludes with his altruistic nature paving a course that culminates in the reunion of his famiIy. This highly imaginative opera and innovative production serves as an archetypal example of classic Russian opera.
