May's drama is based on the historical (though little-known) episode of the marriage (for the third time) of Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

Here is what Karamzin tells about this story in his “History of the Russian State”: “Missing widowhood, although not chaste, Ivan the Terrible had long been looking for a third wife ... Brides were brought from all cities to Sloboda, both noble and ignoble, more than two thousand: each was presented to him especially. First, he chose 24, and after 12 ... he compared them for a long time in beauty, in amenities, in mind; Finally, he preferred Marfa Vasilyeva Sobakina, the daughter of a Novgorod merchant, to everyone. But the royal bride fell ill, began to lose weight, dry up: they said that she was spoiled by villains, haters of John's family well-being. The evil slanderer, Dr. Elisha Bomelius, suggested that the king exterminate the villains with poison and, as they say, made a destructive potion with such infernal art that the poisoned one died at the moment appointed by the tyrant. So John executed one of his favorites Grigory Gryazny, Prince Ivan Gvozdev-Rostovsky and many others who were recognized as participants in the poisoning of the royal bride. Meanwhile, the tsar married (October 28, 1572) the sick Martha, hoping, in his own words, to save her by this act of love and trust to the mercy of God; six days later he married his son to Evdokia Saburova, but the wedding feasts ended with a funeral: Martha died on November 13, being either really a victim of human malice, or only the unfortunate culprit of the execution of the innocent.

In the opera, the plot of May's drama did not undergo significant changes, and its drama increased immeasurably thanks to music.

The Tsar's Bride has appeared on the playbill of our theater since the first year of its existence and lives today in its seventh version. The production of Ivan Prostorov in 1944 became very important for the theatre, marking the transition from the compromise repertoire of the war years to serious large-scale operas. The production designer of the play, Lev Sokolov-Ostrovsky (a relative of the writer who composed The Snow Maiden), soon became a victim of Stalin's oprichnina himself. He went through the camps and survived. When he returned to work at the Kuibyshev Theater in the late 1950s, his The Tsar's Bride was still being performed. And the current production is the most respectable in the current repertoire of the theater: it still remembers the theater before the reconstruction of 2006-2010.
