Le Coq d'Or (The Golden Cock): An Opera in Three Acts by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov et al.
"Le Coq d'Or (The Golden Cock): An Opera in Three Acts" by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov et al. is an opera composed in 1907. Based on Alexander Pushkin's 1834 poem, this was Rimsky-Korsakov's final opera, completed before his death in 1908. The work serves as a sharp political satire targeting Russian autocracy, imperialism, and the Russo-Japanese War. With a libretto by Vladimir Belsky, the opera premiered posthumously in Moscow in 1909, though the composer
never witnessed its first performance due to censorship battles and his untimely death. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
