Mavra by Stravinsky, Dv. 28 Juny 2002, De (2002/2002), Dirigit per Corina van Eijk, Director musical David Levi, Opera Spanga, Spangen, Netherlands

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."
