On the Water Nymph's Easter - Mykola Leontovych FULL OPERA

На Русалчин Великдень - Микола Леонтович ПОВНА ОПЕРА
Na Rusalchyn Velykden' (translated: On the Water Nymph's Easter) was Mykola Leontovych's first attempt at writing a major orchestral piece. It is based on a fairy tale by Boris Hrinchenko and a libretto by Nadia Tanashevych. Leontovych intended to write it in three acts, but was barely finished with the first before he was asassinated. The version recorded here was completed by famous Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk and the poet Diodor Bobyr and only consists of one act.
"The Feast of the Water Nymphs" is a folk-fantasy opera that weaves the intonations and rhythms of Ukrainian spring, kupalo and "rusalka" songs and elements of dance. The main theme of the opera is the conflict between the real world and the world of fantasy. Leontovych's fantasy world can be playful and frolicking but also full of secrets, mystery and danger. He makes the water nymphs real, suffering and angry beings with characteristics given to individual "rusalky."
