Although best known for his ballets, symphonies and symphonic poems, Tchaikovsky was also a significant composer of operas. Unfortunately, only two of them, i.e. Onegin and the Queen of Spades, are regularly performed in theaters. One of his lesser known operas is Mazeppa (prod. Moscow in 1884). To get some "flavor" of it, here is the finale. Valery Gergiev conducts the Kirov Orchestra at the Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg. The DVD of the complete work, published by Philips, is highly recommended!
