Summary
"Rimsky-Korsakov's first setting of the Russian epic saga Sadko was in the form of an orchestral poem. In reworking the subject into a lyric drama for which he also supplied the libretto, Rimsky-Korsakov brought his full arsenal of orchestral coloration to a tale brimming with fantastical elements. From the aural and visual depictions of the rolling seas, so much a part of Sadko's imagery, to the folk songs of the townspeople, Sadko is an opera filled with music of unsurpassed vitality and richness."--Container.
