Snegurochka (Ostrovskii, R-K)

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear musical and dramatic SEELangers:

Does anyone know how to find a video version of
"Snegurochka"? -- but I'm looking for the opera
Rimskii-Korsakov version of the Ostrovskii play,
like this performance:
http://www.mariinsky.ru/en/opera/spectacle/sneg_new

There is a video put out by R.U.S.C.I.C.O, but I believe that
is the fairy-tale version and not an opera (am I wrong?).
I'm not looking for the ballet either, unless someone
can recommend an exceptional version on video.

I have looked for a while. Even at allaboutopera.com,
the only thing I could find was a CD of the correct
version. Their DVD link is to the fairy tale.

As long as we're on this, has anyone ever tried to recreate
the version done at Abramtsevo?

I'd be very grateful for any help. This is for a course on
Russian drama in English, and we'll do a few ballets and
operas -- so any suggestions on that score are most welcome.
I have plenty of visual art material from my current art class,
so I'm now looking for music and video.

Spasibo ogromnoe,
-FR
