		When the ship arrived at the kingdom of Tsar Saltan, the sailors again told the tsar of the fantastic island they had seen, of the singing squirrel cracking the golden nuts, of the thirty-three armored knights rising out of the sea, and of the lovely princess whose beauty was beyond compare.

		For instance, the tsar appears rather stunned by what he hears in the conversation between the three young woman and about their dreams to be queen, as he stops himself from entering the scene.
		If we examine the image of the face of the girl in the middle, we notice the similarity in the way her face is drawn to the images of the Virgin Mary in iconography and in the way she humbly folds her hands.
		Undoubtedly she is the one that the artist intended to be the tsar's wife.

	The Tale of Tsar Saltan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Written in 1899, in part as a contribution to the Pushkin centennial, The Tale of Tsar Saltan was based, with great fidelity, on the poet's stylized folk tale that had become a favorite children's story.
		Tsar Saltan comes to see the three great wonders that he's heard about.
		This 1953 recording of the Bolshoi under Vassily Nebolsin, with Ivan Petrov as the Tsar, Vladimir Ivanovsky as Guidon, Yevgenia Smolenskaya as the Tsarina and Galina Olenitchenko as a suitably bird-like Swan-Princess, could be in better sound, but the performance is everything one could hope for.

		The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed at Vladimir Stasov's suggestion, was Rimsky-Korsakov's contribution to the celebration of the Pushkin centenary(1899).
		Although seemingly a return to a vein he had mined exhaustively in earlier fairy-tale operas, it in fact marked a new departure, for not only the content but the form of the opera followed that of the folktale (skazka) on which it was based.

		Regrettably, Rimsky-Korsakov composed only a handful of piano works,andnbsp;none of which of any importance, although he was a good pianist and showed with his Piano Concerto that he could write well for the intrument.
		To pianists, his name will probably forever be linked with to the famous Flight of the Bumblebee (from the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan) which was so magnificently transcribed by Rachmaninov.

	Baba Yaga in Film by James Graham: Summer 2006, Journal of Mythic Arts, Endicott Studio
		Despite all of their classic fairy tale elements, these are films full of communist propaganda, some containing very subtle lessons of camaraderie while others are just ridiculous romps of Marxism.
		Ptushko's The Tale of Tsar Saltan is a gorgeous Technicolor ballet of a fairy tale that does not sacrifice one ingot of monarchist opulence to tow the Communist Party line — though there is a very flattering portrayal of Soviet–style mercantilism and naval power, and the witch here does represent czarist corruption and assassination.
		Like Ptushko's Novograd (1952) and Ilya Muromets (1956), The Tale of Tsar Saltan freely celebrates all the old gods of Russian folklore and the desires of the peasants for courtly gold, while tithing ten percent to the Polit Bureau by laying blame in the story on the misuse of magic and religion.
