Ein Leben für den Zaren
Drigo's next score for the ballet was the grand "piece d'occasion" "La Perle" (sometimes known in Russian as "Прелестная жемчужина" — "Pretty Pearl"), produced especially for the gala held at the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow in honor of the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. The ballet premiered on after a performance of Glinka's "A Life for the Tsar".
