ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Ruslan and Lyudmila (Russian: Руслан и Людмила, tr. Ruslán i Lyudmíla listen (help·info)) is an opera in five acts (eight tableaux) composed by Mikhail Glinka between 1837 and 1842. The opera is based on the 1820 poem of the same name by Alexander Pushkin. The Russian libretto was written by Valerian Shirkov, Nestor Kukolnik and N. A. Markevich, among others. Pushkin’s death in the famous duel prevented him from writing the libretto himself as planned.

Today, the best-known music from the opera is its overture.
