Notes
'Pan Voyevoda'. This was the Moscow premiere of the opera, which had been produced in St Petersburg the previous year. Keldysh (p. 218) highlighted that the St Petersburg production had been undertaken by a private opera company, also noting Rimsky-Korsakov's situation in the complex politics of the time.
