Russian opera in US

[William Derbyshire]

Can anyone lead me to a source, article or book, which discusses the  
history of productions 
of Russian operas in the United Sates? I have read that some of the  
earliest productions of 
Russian operas were done in cities such as Boston and Philadelphia, usually 
 in English, as
well as New York.
Any information would be appreciated and can be sent to me directly 
_wwdslovene at aol.com_ (mailto:wwdslovene at aol.com)  
Many thanks in advance.   Bill Derbyshire
