Notes and References
- ↑ Tchaikovsky had come specially to Saint Petersburg on 18/30 October 1886 in order to attend the premiere of Eduard Nápravník's opera Harold, which interested him greatly. During his stay in the imperial capital he frequently called on Emiliya Pavlovskaya, who was due to sing at the premiere. The latter was, however, postponed due to Nápravník being indisposed, and Tchaikovsky left Saint Petersburg on 9/21 November to return to his house in Maydanovo. On 11/23 November the premiere of Harold took place at the Mariinsky Theatre, and Pavlovskaya seems to have informed Tchaikovsky of this by telegram — note based on information provided by Vasily Kiselev in Чайковский на московской сцене (1940), p. 370.
