March 18 1905 (Julian calendar)

Moscow, Russia
Assembly of the Nobility, Pillar Hall

Rachmaninoff's role: Conductor

Notes: Satina notes that this concert was in the series of Kerzin’s Society of the Lovers of Russian Music. The order of the program follows Keldysh (p. 222) and Martyn (p. 541). Satina believed that Spring from The Seasons was performed, not Winter, and that the program began with that work, however the reviews cited by Keldysh indicate this was not correct.

Notes: This was the Moscow premiere of the opera, which had been produced in St Petersburg the previous year. Keldysh (p. 218) highlights 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.
