Mavra by Stravinsky, Do. 04 Juli 2002, Ab (2002/2002), Unter der Regie von Corina van Eijk, Dirigat David Levi, Opera Spanga, Spangen, Niederlande

Mavra is a comedy based on a poem by Pushkin. The typically Russian elaborations, addressing with devotion the most trivial of subjects is raised to the level of "art". In this 23 minute comedy Igor Stravinsky sketches a brilliant musical tale. The work is a joy, lovely melodic curves alternating with stirring wind fragments typical of Stravinsky. Stravinsky said: "Justice is done to this little work in a small theater with a devoted audience."
