Slavic Myths and Legends – Riddles, Mysteries, and Enigmas
Churchill described Russia as “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”
Russian myths were the focus of Nicolai Rimsky Korsakov’s operatic writing, including his Golden Cockerell, Legend of Tsar Saltan, Sadko, the Snow Maiden and the Invisible City of Kitezh. Dvorak similarly explored Czech myths including his Rusalka. The others in Russia’s “mighty five” composers were more interested in the Legendary aspects of Russia’s history, including Glinka’s A Life for the Czar and Borodin’s Prince Igor.
