Set in medieval Novgorod, Russia, the story follows Sadko, a gusli player. During a guild banquet of wealthy merchants, Sadko sings of his ambitions and is expelled as a suspected troublemaker. While wandering by a lake, Sadko’s song captivates Voloha, the daughter of the Sea King, who appears and tells him that he is destined to unite with a human. She offers to reveal a secret—**the magical Golden Fish**—which will grant him immense wealth if he accepts. After learning this secret and returning to the town, Sadko sets out into the vast ocean seeking riches, but...
"Sadko" is based on the "Sadko Legend," a medieval Russian oral epic (bylina). It is considered one of Rimsky-Korsakov’s masterpieces, richly orchestrated with Russian folk melodies and traditional music. The production is entrusted to the talented Dmitry Chernyakov, renowned for his work at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, bringing new life to this dreamlike work that oscillates between past and present, illusion and reality.
The role of Sadko is powerfully sung by Nadzhmidin Mavlyanov, a young tenor from Uzbekistan active mainly at the Bolshoi Theatre. The role of Voloha is performed by the popular Russian soprano Aida Garifullina. The cast also features strong performers such as Ekaterina Semenchuk, Yuri Minenko, and Mikhail Petrenko. The conductor, Timur Zangiev, born in 1994, is an emerging talent who masterfully directs this grand work.
