ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote from Musical Review https://muzobozrenie.ru/vozrozhdenie-opery-asya-ippolitova-ivanova-koncertnoe-ispolnenie-v-bzk-6-ijunya-2022/
The premiere of Asya took place in 1900 in Moscow by the Partnership of Private Opera (one of the many names of the private opera house, which was financially supported by the entrepreneur and philanthropist Savva Mamontov), in the artistic design of the great Mikhail Vrubel. Conducted by the author. The part of Asya was performed by Elena Yakovlevna Tsvetkova.
“In this opera, the proximity to Onegin had an especially strong effect due to the similarities in the stage situations and the experiences of the stage characters (Asya in the opera is dreamier and calmer than in Turgenev’s story). The burgher patriarchal environment of a provincial German town is well conveyed by Ippolitov-Ivanov in the scenes where the melodies of genuine everyday dances and student songs sound; the ensembles are written simply and clearly, partly in the style of Mozart’s operas. Asya was staged at the Moscow Solodovnikov Theatre; in a revised edition by the composer, it was resumed in Moscow in 1906. Through the German song-everyday element, “Asya” approaches Schubert’s lyrics in character,” writes M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov ”(M .: Muzgiz, 1936) musicologist Sergei Bugoslavsky.
Musicologist Abram Gozenpud, in turn, emphasized that nevertheless “it is wrong to consider Asya only as an imitation of Onegin.” He also noted that many of Turgenev’s storylines were lost, “banal operatic situations appeared”, and that “not being a new word in art, the Ippolitov-Ivanov opera still enjoyed the sympathy of the audience.”
