As part of Radio 3's celebration of Rimsky-
Korsakov's 150th birthday, another chance to hear the British premiere of his one-act fairy-tale opera, given earlier this year at the Barbican Hall, London.
The evil sorcerer Kashchei will never die, unless his cruel, hard-hearted daughter Kashcheievna sheds a tear. But when
Kashchei captures the Princess and Kashcheievna tries to seduce her lover
Ivan Korolevich , the seeds of destruction may be sown.
