About this title

Synopsis

Snegurotchka, The Snow Maiden: A Legend Of Springtide, An Opera In Four Acts (1921) is a classical Russian opera composed by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakoff. The story is based on a Russian folklore tale about a Snow Maiden named Snegurotchka who is created from snow and brought to life by the god of winter, Father Frost. Snegurotchka longs to experience the warmth of human love and the beauty of spring, but her icy heart prevents her from doing so. Eventually, she falls in love with a mortal man named Lel, but their love is doomed as it cannot survive the heat of the sun. The opera is a beautiful and poignant exploration of themes such as love, nature, and mortality, and is known for its stunning orchestration and vocal performances. It has been performed in theaters and opera houses all over the world and is considered one of Rimsky-Korsakoff's greatest works.Additional Translator P. Lalo. English Version By Frederick H.
