SYNOPSIS

ACT I Ivan Severyanovich Flyagin, a novice at the monastery in Valaam, is reminiscing about former days. Before renouncing the material world, he once accidentally whipped a monk to death. The monk appeared in a vision, reproaching Ivan for taking his life before he could make his final confession. He told Ivan Severyanovich that he was God’s “promised” son and that he would die but never pass on until real “death” comes, so Ivan enters the monastery on the island of Valaam. And although Ivan Severyanovich did not believe in it, the monk’s prophesy came true. While on his travels, Ivan was captured by the Tatars and lived with them for 10 years in Ryn-Peski. He managed to flee from them, met some shepherds on his way back to his native land, and entered the service of a Prince, who admired his skill with horses. But after three years of devoted service Ivan Severyanovich took to drinking binges. At an inn, Flyagin met a landowner with the gift of hypnosis. The same night, in another inn, Ivan Severyanovich spent all the money entrusted to him by the Prince on Grusha, a beautiful gypsy songstress.

ACT II When the Prince demands his five thousand rubles, Flyagin shows remorse and relates his tale of a beautiful gypsy. Having fallen in love with Grusha, the Prince paid her immense dowry of 50,000 gold rubles and took her home with him. But the Prince is a fickle man and he soon grew tired of Grusha. During his trip to town, Ivan found out that his master planned to marry a rich noblewoman and, returning home, could not find the gypsy girl: the Prince secretly removed her to the swampy woodlands. But Grusha escaped her incarceration, met Flyagin, and forced him to take a dreadful oath—to kill her, otherwise she would kill the unfaithful Prince and his young bride. In order to carry out Grusha’s request, Ivan Severyanovich throws her into a river from a cliff top. The chorus mourns her death. In his visions Ivan Severyanovich Flyagin hears the voices of the monk and the gypsy girl Grusha, whom he murdered.

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

RODION SHCHEDRIN was born in 1932 in Moscow to a composer and a music teacher. He at- tended Moscow Choral School and Moscow Conservatory, studying composition and piano, graduat- ing in 1955. He chose to focus on composing, writing his first major works while still in his 20s. He married the famed ballerina Maya Plisetskaya in 1958. He was professor of composition at the Moscow Conservatory between 1964—69. The Little Humpbacked Horse, a ballet suite for orchestra, was first performed in 1956, and his Carmen Suite premiered in 1967 at the Bolshoi Theater. He headed the Composers’ Association of the Russian Federation, designated by his predecessor Dmitri Shostakovich as his successor. In 1982, he attended the Munich Piano Summer festival for the first time. Shchedrin never joined the Communist Party, and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he finally had the opportunity to participate musically on an international scope. Since 1992, he has split his time between Moscow and Munich. Shchedrin has combined traditional Russian influences—folk and classical music, and poetry and literature—with new forms. He has written operas including The Dead Souls and Lolita, and the ballets Anna Karenina and The Seagull. His accolades include being named to the Academy of Fine Arts in the German Democratic Republic, the International Music Council, and the Academy of Arts in Berlin. He received the Dmitri Shostakovich Prize (1993), and in 2002 was named Composer of the Year by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Photo: Kapustinskaya by V Baranovsky Who’sMariinsky Who Orchestra
