Tchaikovsky: Undina
In 1869, Pyotr Tchaikovsky composed an opera called Undina, about a community that disrespects the sea and experiences catastrophic flooding. Tchaikovsky was highly self-critical, and he destroyed the finished opera. When he died in 1893, all that survived of the opera were some sketches and some fragments in the form of orchestral parts used for a concert of excerpts. Tchaikovsky recycled some of the music intended for Undina into some of his most famous works, including Swan Lake. Queen City Opera Artistic Director Dr. Isaac M. Selya has completed these materials in a pastiche drawing on music from Tchaikovsky's lesser-known operas. The result is a one-act opera focused on ocean conservancy and sustainable energy production.
