The Enchantress (opera)
''The Enchantress'' (or ''The Sorceress'', (ロシア語:Чародейка), ''Charodéyka'') is an opera in four acts by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky based on the libretto by Ippolit Shpazhinsky, using his drama with the same title. The opera was composed between September 1885 and May 1887 in Maidanovo, Russia, and was first performed in St Petersburg in 1887.
==Composition history==
Ippolit Shpazhinsky's play ''The Enchantress'' was first produced in 1884 at the Maly Theatre in Moscow, and soon it had seen more performances than any other play being staged in Moscow or St Petersburg. The actresses Maria Yermolova and Maria Savina were prominent in the title role of Nastasya ("Kuma").〔(Bolshoi Press Office, 26 June 2012, Bolshoi to return "forgotten" Tchaikovsky's masterpiece, The Enchantress )〕 Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky admired ''The Enchantress''〔(Henry Zajaczkowski, ''An Introduction to Tchaikovsky’s Operas'' )〕 and one scene in particular. He pointed it out to his brother the composer, who proceeded to write a duet based on that scene. Pyotr saw the play himself in January 1885, after which he wrote to Shpazhinsky, asking him to convert the drama to an opera libretto.〔 Shpazhinsky agreed, and the two men met that month to discuss the project,〔(Tchaikovsky Research )〕 but the librettist's work was delayed by his divorce proceedings. When the libretto was finally completed in August, it was far too long and Tchaikovsky had to radically cut it. Even so, this opera was still the longest work he ever wrote.〔(David Brown, ''Tchaikovsky: The Man and His Music'' )〕
