Chekhov in the works of others - THANK YOU!

[Michael D Johnson]

Yelena,
Seeing the Eötvös opera here, I might add that the American composer Thomas
Pasatieri (1945--) has composed two operas based on Chekhov: The Seagull
(1972) and Three Sisters (1986).   Kenward Elmslie provided the libretto for
both.  A CD is available of The Seagull, the p/v score of which has also
been published.

Cordially informative,
Michael D. Johnson
