About Mlada

Mlada is an opera-ballet in four acts, composed between 1889 and 1890 by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, to a libretto by Viktor Krylov that was originally destined for an aborted project of the same name from 1872. The composer was "somewhat ahead of his time, in that he combined within one scenic whole song, movement, dance, decor, reality and make-believe. Both real people and their 'souls' appear: the physical world alternates with the mystical, the commonplace with the magical, and dry land with water-the transformations are continuous."
