The Tsar's Bride
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tsar's Bride (Царская невеста in Cyrillic, Carskaja nevesta in transliteration) is a tragic historical verse drama in four acts by Lev Mey from 1849. Fifty years later it became the basis of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera of the same name.
Like the author's other Russian historical play, The Maid of Pskov, this drama is set in the time of Ivan the Terrible.
