Panorama of Ukrainian culture in the Big Apple by Helen Perozak Smindak

Kozaks in New York

There is probably no Ukrainian theatrical presentation that appeals more deeply to Ukrainian sentiment than the three-act opera "Zaporozhets za Dunayem" (The Kozak Beyond the Danube). Semen Hulak-Artemovsky's work, first performed in 1863, embraces all that is dear to Ukrainian hearts and souls: music, songs, folk dances, comedy, romance, religious faith, and a deep love for one's homeland. With its happy ending — the freeing of Kozaks im­ prisoned by the Turks (and with that, the reunion of the hapless lovers, Oksana and Andriy) - "Zaporozhets" delivers a propitious omen for all those who continue to hope for the inde­ pendence of Ukraine. A performance of "Zaporozhets za Dunayem" by the Ukrainian Opera Ensemble of New York on February 20 offered even more — the premiere of an additional act for which the music was composed by Stanislav Liudkevychand the libretto by Roman Kupchynsky. Thus, it was not surprising that the auditorium of the Fashion Industries High School in Manhattan was almost completely filled for the Ukrainian Opera Ensemble's venture into the land KolomayeU of the Kozaks.
