''Ivan the Fool'' (''Иванушка-дурачёк'' in Cyrillic; ''Ivanuška-duračok'' in transliteration) is an opera-fairytale for children in three tableaux, by César Cui, composed in 1913. The libretto was written by Nadezhda Nikolaevna Dolomanova, using Russian folk tales. (It is not derived from Leo Tolstoy's ''story of the same name.) The title can be rendered in English in a number of ways, depending upon whether one wishes to consider the diminutives involved: ''Foolish Ivan'', ''Ivan the Little Fool'', ''Johnny the Little Fool'', etc. (The printed Russian score of 1913 adds a parallel title in French, ''Jeannot "le bêtà"''.) The performance history of this opera has yet to be traced. ==Roles== *Tsar: ''alto'' *Tsarevna (his daughter Elena ): ''soprano'' *Ivanushka: ''mezzo-soprano'' *1st Brother of Ivan: ''soprano'' *2nd Brother of Ivan: ''mezzo-soprano'' *Father of Ivan: ''alto'' *Mother of Ivan: ''soprano'' *Horse: ''alto or bass'' *Courtiers, skomorokhi, gusli-players, wooden stumps: ''chorus'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan the Fool (opera)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
