Mikhail Sadovsky
Tchaikovsky Research
Russian actor (b. 12/24 November 1847 in Moscow; d. 26 July/8 August 1910 in Moscow), born Mikhail Provych Sadovsky (Михаил Прович Садовский).
Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Sadovsky
In 1872, Tchaikovsky wrote music for Count Almaviva's couplets "Vous l'ordonnez" in Pierre Beaumarchais' play The Barber of Seville (Le Barbier de Séville) for a production by students at the Moscow Conservatory. Most sources attribute this Russian translation to Mikhail Sadovsky (1847–1910), although Sadovsky's Russian version of The Barber of Seville seems to have been premiered at the Maly Theatre in Moscow in 1883 [1] and published for the first time the following year [2].
