Prisoner of the Caucasus (opera)
''Prisoner of the Caucasus'' (''Кавказский пленник'' in Cyrillic, ''Kavkazskij plennik'' in transliteration) is an opera in three acts, composed by César Cui. The libretto is credited to Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov, and is based on Pushkin's poem''The Prisoner of the Caucasus''.
The English title has been rendered also as ''Prisoner in the Caucasus''.
The opera was preceded on the Russian stage by choreographer Charles Didelot's ballet of 1825.
==Composition==
The opera was composed in three versions. The first, in 1857-1858, consisted of only two acts (which later became Acts I and III), but its staging was cancelled due to poor orchestration and insufficient length. Meanwhile the overture, orchestrated by Mily Balakirev, could be heard in concerts. Many years later, Cui decided to revise the two-act work: during 1881-1882 he added a new middle act (Act II) and another dance to Act III. This version constituted the score for the Russian premiere. In 1885, with the prospect of a Belgian production, he expanded the finale of Act II, creating the third version of the opera.
