The Tsar’s Bride (Russian: Царская невеста, Tsarskaya nevesta) is an opera by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, first performed in 1899. It is based on a historical drama of the same name by Lev Mey. Although it’s frequently performed in the former Soviet Union, it’s little known outside it. Interestingly, another Ivan the Terrible-centered drama by Mey, The Maid of Pskov, had also been previously adapted to music by the same composer.The plot is very loosely based on the circumstances surrounding Ivan the Terrible’s third marriage. Marfa Sobakina, a merchant’s daughter, is betrothed to her Victorious Childhood Friend Ivan Lykov. However, the wedding is delayed because the Tsar is looking for a new wife, and all highborn maidens must be presented before him.Meanwhile, Grigory Gryaznoi, an oprichnik, has also fallen madly in love with Marfa and asks the royal physician Bomelius to make him a love potion. However, Gryaznoi’s jealous neglected mistress Lyubasha gets a poison from Bomelius and switches the two potions.Marfa is chosen as the Tsar’s bride, but after Gryaznoi puts what he thinks is a love potion into her drink, she is taken ill. Gryaznoi frames Lykov for the poisoning and kills him. Hearing the news, Marfa slips into insanity and feverishly calls for Lykov. Gryaznoi, heartbroken, kills Lyubasha and gives himself up for torture and execution. The opera contains examples of: | |
