Anton Arensky
In the 1870s Tchaikovsky destroyed the manuscript full score of the opera, while recycling much of the first act in his "The Oprichnik" (1870–1872). The subject of "The Voyevoda" was thus left available to his former pupil Anton Arensky to compose as the opera "Dream on the Volga" in 1888. Decades later, during the Soviet period, "The Voyevoda" was posthumously reconstructed from surviving orchestral and vocal parts and the composer's sketches.
