| Extra Information | Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov tried to compose an opera after texts by Belsky, but the project remained unaccomplished. Rimsky-Korsakov left some fragmented sketches, and Steinberg used these in his compositions. Therefore this is not a completion of Rimsky-Korsakov's work nor collaboration work. Also this work is not an opera. |
