Alexandr Borodin's Prince Igor....

 One of the stage costumes....
 
Click to play.... 
 
What goes on at Pirbright....
Still at it!
Hooray! It's the gudok-players!
   
The scenes' images are by the theosopher Nicholas Konstantinovich Roerich (1874-1947)

 
 
 
 
 
....It took me a while to make up my mind on whether the
overture, Act Two's Polovtsian Dance with the
Choir or the prologue is better (although
the last two Minutes of the prologue
makes all the difference in that).
