MAY NIGHT (Rimsky-Korsakov) Rimsky-Korsakov lavished a gorgeous score on this rustic tale of love and the supernatural. This 2008 production by the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre marks the opera’s first appearance on DVD. The company’s brilliant staging is modern in its dramatic intensity yet firmly rooted in the traditional heart of the work. Sung in Russian with optional subtitles in English, French, Italian, Spanish, & Russian. Color, 120 min.
