The Princess from
The Golden Cockerel, 1909 -
Classic Canvas Print
Premiering
before a Moscow audience in 1909, the opera The Golden Cockerel was
staged at the Solodovnikov Theatre and presented by the Zimin Opera.
Costumes and sets were designed by Ivan Bilibin, who was later to
become one of the founders of the famous Ballet Russes in Paris.
Beautifully scripted caption reads: "Opera The Golden
Cockerel by Rimsky - Korsakov, 1909".
This illustration features the costume for the Slave Girl character, called
The Princess in this collection, and captures the modern fashion that was
the Russian opera of this era. Because characters so closely resembled
some of the royal family, the opera was banned when first completed in 1907,
unfortunately Rimsky-Korsokov did not live to see the premiere.
Pushkin's poem, set in the city of Shemakha in the Shamakhi region of
Azerbaijan, inspired the eastern influence of the sets and costumes.
Bilibin's modernist style makes this a wonderful choice for contemporary or
traditional interiors. Ideal gift for an opera lover or anyone
interested in fashion and costume. Framed in a delicate
mahogany frame and mounted to museum standards, the print is also available unframed with hand-stretched
canvas on an internal wood frame,
ready for hanging.
