The Tsar's Bride

The Tsar's Bride

"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.
