Recording

[edit]

According to OCLC 876300618 the recording was complete (unusual for such really out-of-the-way operas, where one often finds recordings just of selected arias from the 1920s :) ) but on the other hand was issued in a limited edition of only 3000 CDs. (Perhaps it's available streaming- yes, yes it is, over Naxos Music Library. Interesting.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 15:27, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dimitri

Dimitri is an 1876 French-language grand opera in five acts by Victorin de Joncières. Set to a libretto by Henri de Bornier and Paul Armand Silvestre after Friedrich Schiller's incomplete play Demetrius, itself a story based on the life of the Russian pretender False Dmitry I (reigned 1605–1606), the opera was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre National Lyrique. Antonín Dvořák's 1881 opera Dimitrij was also based on Schiller's play. This picture shows the set design for Act V of Dimitri's première.
