Composed in 1907, this late-Russian opera showcases Rimsky-Korsakov's mastery of orchestration and exotic musical textures, blending fairy-tale fantasy with satirical commentary on autocratic rule. The edition includes the complete libretto and musical score, making it valuable for both performers and opera enthusiasts.
