Sergei Maliutin (1859-1937) painted this fabulous figure as part of the stage design and costume of the Morskoy Tsar, a character from the Rimsky-Korsakov opera Sadko. The first production of Sadko took place in 1897, and in 1906 it went to the Bolshoy Theatre in Moscow.

Do you enjoy the music of Rimsky-Korsakov? I love his Night on Bald Mountain.

Cheers & Happy Reading!

  1. Song of India is a perfect match for the painting above. I watched it while listening. Awesome!

    Night on Bald Mountain is a powerful piece of music. Spine tingling, even those opening strings give you chills just listening to it. A beautiful masterpiece. The ending is just so calm and lovely.
    Thanks for bringing us something special to begin the week!
