Hailed upon its publication in 1981 as the quintessential English-language study of Russian opera. The 1860s was a bridge in the development of opera in Russia, between the heritage of Mikhail Glinka and the following generation of masterful composers, represented by, among others, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Mussorgsky.
Musicologists, music historians and students of Russian music will glean much from this study, which analyzes the operatic contributions of Aleksandr Dargomyzshky, Aleksandr Serov and Cesar Cui. By linking their works to the development of intellectual history during the period, Taruskin ensures that the decade of the 1860s will be known as a significant era in the development of Russian opera.
