The Miserly Knight
''The Miserly Knight'', also ''The Covetous Knight'', ((ロシア語:Скупой рыцарь), ''Skupój rýtsar’'') is a Russian opera in one act with music by Sergei Rachmaninoff, with the libretto based on Alexander Pushkin's drama of the same name. It contains roles for five male singers, but no females. The composer decided essentially to set the Pushkin text as written, and had Feodor Chaliapin in mind for the role of the Baron,〔(Geoffrey Norris, "Bold reunion of the old companions ". ''Telegraph'', 19 March 2002. )〕〔(Geoffrey Norris, "Rachmaninov's last bastion". ''Telegraph'', 21 June 2004 )〕 however, Chaliapin withdrew from the production over artistic differences.
The first performance was on 24 January (11 January OS) 1906 at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow, with the composer himself conducting, in a double-bill performance with another Rachmaninoff opera written contemporaneously, ''Francesca da Rimini''.〔Steve Griffiths, Review of vocal scores of Rachmaninoff's ''Francesca da Rimini'' and ''The Miserly Knight'', ''Musical Times'', 136(1825), 148 (1995)〕 The director was Vasiliy Shkafer.
Productions of the opera have been rare.〔(Andrew Clements, "The Miserly Knight/Gianni Schicchi". ''The Guardian'', 3 July 2004. )〕 In addition, the characterization of the moneylender, who is identified in the story as being Jewish, has been criticized as anti-Semitic.〔(Anthony Holden, "Even the corpse is fantastic". ''The Observer'', 4 July 2004. )〕〔(Tim Ashley, "Glyndebourne double bill" (review of Prom 55, 2004). ''The Guardian'', 28 August 2004. )〕
