Fomka the Fool
''Fomka the Fool'' '' (Fomka-durachok: (ロシア語:Фомка-дурачок))'' is a one-act opera by Anton Rubinstein to a libretto by M. L. Mikhaylov. It was given its only performance in 1853.
==Background==
''Fomka'' was the second of Rubinstein's operas to be performed. It was commissioned, together with two other one-act operas, ''The Siberian Hunters'' and ''Vengeance'', by the Grand Duchess Yelena Pavlovna. The first performance was on at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The title role was sung by Lev Leonov, the son of the pianist John Field.
The performance appears to have been a disaster. The composer wrote 'It was performed in such a way that I gathered everything up and do not intend to give any more of my works on the Russian stage () (performers ) missed out whole bars, came in early, forgot their parts ()'〔letter from Rubinstein to his mother, quoted in Taylor (2007), 40-41〕 Rubinstein went to the theatre office the next day and insisted that his score be returned to him.〔Rubinstein (2005), 38〕 The failure was an incentive for Rubinstein to quit Russia to seek a career in Western Europe. Although Rubinstein offered the opera to Franz Liszt to be performed in Weimar in 1854,〔Taylor (2007), 51〕
the score now appears to be lost.
