During the Polish invasion of Russia in 1612–1613, peasant Ivan Susanin leads Polish soldiers into a remote, snowbound forest rather than reveal the location of the newly elected Tsar Michael Romanov. The soldiers kill Susanin, while the epilogue shows the tsar’s supporters celebrating and mourning the sacrifice.
Dmitry Donskoy competes with Tverskoy for Ksenia’s hand and wins her by leading the Russian victory over Mamai at the Battle of Kulikovo.
A three-act Russian opera by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, based on Fouqué’s Undine through Zhukovsky’s translation. The full score was destroyed, and only five musical numbers survive.
