I love both the music and the choreography. Ending with the image of the goddess Durga Devi was a brilliant touch. I am hard pressed to choose a favorite composer, but Rimsky-Korsakov would probably be that choice. His use of folk elements combined with mysticism produced works that are nothing short of enchanting.
Thank you for posting a wonderful excerpt from this staging of Sadko! I would really like to see the whole perfomance - is this from a dvd and could you post its particulars so I can try and buy a copy. Thanks! - R. in Toronto Canada
why they don't play this at the MET is beyond me. I adore all of RK's music--so colorful, exotic--takes one to another place--as good music should.

It's wonderful to hear a singer who has such a specific point of view in his interpretation. The aria really comes alive in this performance.

@joanabanyeres Would you be aware of a complete Otello with Gregorian? He was definitely Atlantov's successor!
