Conducted BY GONEL PERLEA
Act 1
Scene 1: The garden of Kotshubei's house on the bank of a river in the Ukraine
Scene 2; A room in Kotshubei's house
Mazeppa was the seventh of Tchaikovsky's ten operas. He began to write it in 1881 and then lost interest in it before again taking up the work in the following year. The first performance took place in Moscow in 1884. The libretto, founded on Pushkin's poem Poltava, concerns the warrior
Mazeppa some years after his famous adventure with the wild horse. He is now an elderly hetman (leader of the Cossacks), and the opera deals with his love for Maria (the daughter of Kotshubei, a rich Cossack), who in turn is loved by a young man, Andrei. Mazeppa quarrels with Kotshubei, who is cast into prison and eventually executed, since the Tsar trusts Mazeppa and refuses to believe rumours that he is guilty of treason. Finally, after the battle of Poltava, Andrei attacks Mazeppa, who shoots him, and he dies in Maria's arms. Harold Rutland

Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Glasgow University
'Some years after the walls of Ch'uanchou had been pulled down during the war with Japan, a Chinese schoolmaster collected some carved stones from the remaining rubble. He took photographs of the best pieces, and it is about these photographs that Professor Foster speculates in this talk. They include Buddhist and Moslem remains, as well as nineteen stones that can be labelled Christian. They are stones from the China of Marco Polo.
