The Maid of Pskov
''The Maid of Pskov'' ((ロシア語:Псковитянка), ''Pskovityanka''), is an opera in three acts and six scenes by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The libretto was written by the composer, and is based on the drama of the same name by Lev Mei. The story concerns the Tsar Ivan the Terrible and his efforts to subject the cities of Pskov and Novgorod to his will. The original version of the opera was completed in 1872, and received its premiere in 1873 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The third and final version was completed in 1892, and is considered "definitive". This version was made famous by Chaliapin in the role of Ivan the Terrible. It was introduced to Paris in 1909 by Diaghilev under the title ''Ivan the Terrible'', on account of the dominance of his role,〔Palmer, Christopher, "Prokofiev, Eisenstein and Ivan" (April 1991). ''The Musical Times'', 132 (1778): pp. 179-181.〕 and because of European audience's familiarity with his name.
Rosa Newmarch has characterized the music for the solo singers as mainly of "'mezzo-recitative' of a somewhat dry quality, but relieved by great variety of orchestral color in the accompaniments".〔
==Composition history==
The first product of the composer's interest in this work was a lullaby composed in 1866. Rimsky-Korsakov then set to work in full earnest on an operatic treatment in the winter of 1867-1868. There are 3 versions of the opera. The original version was composed in the years 1868–1872, and received its premiere in 1873.〔Newmarch, Rosa (cited in the article as "Mrs. Newmarch", "The Development of National Opera in Russia. Rimsky Korsakov" (1904-1905). ''Proceedings of the Musical Association'', 31st Session: pp. 111-129.〕 The composer revised the opera in the years 1876–1877. Later he completed a final version in the years 1891–1892.
