About

A “double bill” of two Russian operatic masterpieces. Legendary bass Evgeny Nesterenko stars in the title role of Aleko (1892), an early work of Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943), written whilst the composer was still a student at the Moscow Conservatory.

Kaschey the Immortal (sometimes called Kashchey the Deathless) is very much a mature work of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) - it was the composer’s twelfth opera, and was premiered in 1902.
