The opera was premiered on 11 November 1901 (Old Style), in Moscow at the Noviy Theater. Although it never became part of the standard repertory, "Feast" was revived by the Tchaikovsky Opera in Perm, Russia in 1999 as part of a Pushkin-bicentennial performance of all four of the operatic settings of the "Little Tragedies," i.e., Dargomyzhsky's "The Stone Guest", Rimsky-Korsakov's "Mozart and Salieri", and Rachmaninoff's "The Miserly Knight".
