A contemporary comic opera adaptation of Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy’s tale about Cagliostro.
An unfinished satirical opera planned as a prologue and three acts, centered on Orango, a human-ape hybrid created in a medical experiment. Only about a quarter of the prologue survives; the completed fragment was first performed in an orchestration by Gerard McBurney.
Against the 1825 Decembrist revolt, Prince Dimitri joins dissident officers while pursuing a love for Elena. The conspirators’ uprising in Senate Square is crushed, and Dimitri is wounded. Elena persuades Tsar Nicholas to let her accompany Dimitri into exile; other leaders face execution, and the exiles depart for Siberia singing a hymn to liberation.
