Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Le Coq d'Or (The Golden Cock): An Opera in Three Acts" by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov et al. is an opera composed in 1907. Based on Alexander Pushkin's 1834 poem, this was Rimsky-Korsakov's final opera, completed before his death in 1908. The work serves as a sharp political satire targeting Russian autocracy, imperialism, and the Russo-Japanese War. With a libretto by Vladimir Belsky, the opera premiered posthumously in Moscow in 1909, though the composer never witnessed its first performance due to censorship battles and his untimely death.
