	Russian Opera and the Symbolist Movement: INTRODUCTION
		This book concerns the efforts of Russian composers to create Symbolist operas, efforts that were evaluated in their own time as successes, as failures, and, perhaps most frequently, as successful failures.
		In the chapter, I argue that the opera is a parody of a parody, an amplification, in short, of the stylistic and thematic transgressions of the roman-à-clef.
		In his opera, the outwardly self-assured hero Ruprecht stumbles from confusion to confusion, the occult practitioner Agrippa of Nettesheim is exposed as a pretender, and the heroine Renata waits in vain for a superhuman entity to liberate her from the confines of a subhuman reality.

		This is grand opera at its pinnacle, the sort of monster piece the French and the rest of the opera world long doted on.
		Where Gounod's operas were lovely musical candy boxes, Massenet devoted himself to beautiful sinners and their love affairs, creating stage works that were affecting dramas as well as musical soap operas.

	classical music - andante - tolstoy at the opera
		Unfortunately, the achievements of the golden age of Russian opera were not sustained in the Soviet era — a phenomenon that is usually blamed on Communist censorship of the arts.
		In the Stalin era, all Russian artists were reminded repeatedly, by means ranging from censorship to assassination, that their lives were forfeit to the state.
		The truth is that the decline of Russian opera began about 10 years before the Revolution, and opera was in decline everywhere — not just in Russia.

	Russian Opera at Russian Foods .com
		The performance of the opera "A Life for the Tsar" (1836), by Mikhail GLINKA, is usually cited as the turning point for Russian music (Russia's national anthem is taken from this opera).
		In this historical opera, as well as in his subsequent opera "Ruslan and Ludmila" (1842), the orchestral fantasy Kamarinskaya (1848), and numerous songs, Glinka successfully fused the typical melodies, harmonies, and rhythms of Russian folk music with the forms and techniques of Italian opera -- creating an eclectic but unmistakably national idiom.
		Many of his works--including the six symphonies, the operas Eugene Onegin (1879) and The Queen of Spades (1890), the ballets Swan Lake (1877), Sleeping Beauty (1890) and The Nutcracker (1892)--established themselves as repertory classics.

	Russian Opera from Bulgaria
		Throughout the history of opera in Bulgaria, works composed in the Russian language and from the Russian tradition have shared the stage with those of Italy, Germany and Bulgaria itself.
		Indeed, in at least one case (Mussorgsky's Aleko) a seminal Russian opera was published by Russian Melodiya from Plovdiv with Bulgarian orchestra, chorus, cast and conductor.
		Another volume, "Opera from Russia" (AE 206), focussed on the tradition of Russian opera from the motherland in the immediate post-war period; it relied largely on artists developed in the first half of the twentieth century, but could not go further because of the devastation of Russian culture by the conflict.

	Russian Culture
		Mikhail Glinka was buried at the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
		But in 1979 the Russian scholar Alexandra Orlova published a theory that the composer's death was suicide by poison, ordered by a private court of his former law-student colleagues to prevent revelation of a homosexual scandal involving the aristocracy.
		Progress on the new opera was interrupted partly because of unsettled domestic circumstances, but mainly because heavy drinking left Mussorgsky incapable of sustained creative effort.

	Opera Today : Bolshoi Russian opera highlights
		I suspect that when we survey the musical landscape of the early seventeenth century, it is opera, monody, and madrigal that come most quickly and lastingly into view, and given the contemporaneous attention given to the relationship between music and word, it is unsurprising that this would be the case.
		The exquisite music demands to be performed, so the opera continues to have an existence on the fringes of the standard repertory.
		Russia remains one place where a great native tradition seems to be caught in time, at least in terms of certain vocal characteristics and an abiding affection for outdated stagings, as glimpsed in photos in the CD booklet.

		It is impossible to summarize the plot of so byzantine an opera in a sentence or two: suffice to say that it succeeds in making a plausible evening’s entertainment out of the seventeenth-century split between the Old Believers sect of the Russian Orthodox Church and the modernizing forces of Peter the Great.
