HISTORY OF CREATION

Using historical data, Ukrainian writers A. Malyshko and A. Levada created a libretto in which specific plot positions, actors, and their relationships differ in life’s authenticity and truthfulness.
The opera was written in 11 months. The premiere took place on November 6, 1960 in Kiev and was highly appreciated in the press.
