William Ratcliff (Cui)
''William Ratcliff'' (''Вилльям Ратклифф'' or ''Вильям Ратклиф'' in Cyrillic; ''Vill'jam Ratkliff'' or ''Vil'jam Ratklif'' in transliteration) is an opera in three acts, composed by César Cui during 1861-1868; it was premiered on 14 February 1869 (Old Style) at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg under the conductorship of Eduard Nápravník. Although it was revived in Moscow in 1900 under Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, it never became part of the standard operatic repertoire either in Russia or in the West. Nevertheless, this opera has considerable significance in the history of Russian art music, not only for the fact that it was the first opera by a member of The Five to reach the stage, but also for musical features that suggest experimentation and interrelationships among The Five.
==The Libretto==
The subject for the opera was suggested to the composer by Mily Balakirev, who also orchestrated certain passages of the opera, as did Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
The libretto of the opera was adapted by the composer from Vasily Zhukovsky's Russian verse translation of the like-named tragedy by Heinrich Heine, with some additional verses by Viktor Krylov, who had already written the libretti for Cui's operas ''Prisoner of the Caucasus'' and ''The Mandarin's Son''. (The same play has been used for other operas, most notably Pietro Mascagni's ''Guglielmo Ratcliff'', which premiered over a quarter century later.)
The action takes place in Scotland, during the 17th century (Heine's original was set in Scotland of his own time).
