metadata.value: “Kashchey the Immortal” (1902) became one of the most notable operas-tales of N. A. Rimsky-
  Korsakov. This article is devoted to the history of the libretto text’s creation. It is associated
  with E. M. Petrovsky who originally worked on the text and was an employee of the Russian
  musical newspaper, journalist, and writer. Petrovsky proposed his own text, primarily in the
  symbolic style, to the composer. Preserved musical and epistolary documents of Rimsky-Korsakov
  show that while working on the opera, already having completed the music for two of
  the three parts, the composer rejected Petrovsky’s text and wrote its own version, relying on
  Russian folk tales, predominantly A. N. Afanasyev’s collection, and introduced literary and
  musical corrections into the prepared text. The final version of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “literary
  fairy tales” fit well into his modern field of work in this genre of famous writers at the turn
  of the 19th and 20th centuries, although he was much inferior to them on an artistic level. In
  addition, the particular design of the literary and musical texts allow one to speak of Rimsky-
  Korsakov’s introduction of elements of the “antiskazka,” in particular the interpretation
  of traditional images and typical situations. “Kashchey the Immortal” became the antithesis
  of other operas by the composer, primarily “Snow Maiden” written earlier, and this did not
  prevent the creation of composer from becoming persuasive, an innovative musical interpretation
  of an opera’s literary idea.
