Mavra / Iolanta
Mavra Iolanta © Wilfried Hösl
Stravinsky's opera is based on the verse poem The Little House In Kolomna by Alexander Pushkin and is a comedic love story built on travesty. The piece from Stravinsky's neo-classical period (the première was in Paris in 1922) nevertheless refers to Russian Romanticism, and even appears at times to let a little ragtime ring out. Tchaikovsky's last opera premiered in St. Petersberg in 1892 together with his ballet, The Nutcracker; the piece was first performed at the Bayerische Staatsoper in 1897, and has not been performed there since. Time for a comeback!
