THE TSAR S BRIDE was composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1899. It tells the story of a beautiful young girl who is chosen - quite against her will   by Tsar Ivan the Terrible to be his bride. The actors, singers and musicians of the Bolshoi Opera & Theatre star in this motion picture, which is sung in Russian with English subtitles. Upon its original theatrical release, the New York Times acclaimed the Rimsky-Korsakov score as one which  surges and soars, magnificently voiced by the grand old Bolshoi.CASTMartha:  Raissa Nedashkovskaya (Sung by  Galina Oleinichenko)Liubasha:  Natalya Rudnaya (Sung by  Larisa Avdeyeva)Gryaznoi:  Otar Koberidze (Sung by  Yevgeni Kibkalo)Ivan The Terrible:  Pyotr GlebovCREDITSDirector  Vladimir GorikkerProducer  Vladimir GorikkerScreenplay  Andrei Donatov, Vladimir GorikkerCinematography  Vadim MassMusic  Rimsky   KorsakovBased on a drama by  Lev MeiOrchestra and Choir of the Bolshoi Theatre;  Conductor Yevgeni Svetlanov
