Anton Arensky
His 1854 comedy "Don't Live as You Like" was adapted as the tragic opera "The Power of the Fiend" (premiered in 1871) by Alexander Serov. The historical drama "The Voyevoda (Dream on the Volga)" was transformed into two operas: one by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (as "The Voyevoda") and later another by Anton Arensky entitled "Dream on the Volga". Tchaikovsky also later wrote incidental music for a scene in the play.
