  • Summary

  • Spring and Father Frost had a lovely daughter who could never love, but what happens when she yearns to?

    Aleksandr Ostrovsky's folk play "The Snow Maiden" had many harsh critics including ones that called it anti-theatrical, a story about a stupid king and his stupid subjects, and a pale imitation of Shakespeare's Midsummers Night Dream. However, despite the initial onslaught, the mythologically rich folk story later became a national hit. Follow us on this journey from Afanasyev's "Snow Child" all the way to Nikolai Rimsky‐Korsakov's opera!
