Notes and References
- ↑ In a telegram wired from Saint Petersburg on 27 January/8 February 1887 Emiliya Pavlovskaya had informed Tchaikovsky of the successful performance of Yevgeny Onegin at the Mariinsky Theatre the previous evening, in which the notable baritone Pavel Akinfievich Khokhlov (1854–1919) had sung the title-role and she herself had sung Tatyana. Tsar Alexander III had attended the performance, which was put on specially at his request. Pavlovskaya's telegram has been published in Чайковский на московской сцене (1940), p. 384, and its text is as follows: "Yesterday Onegin — brilliant success. Khokhlov — mighty furore. An ideal, unique Onegin. Sincerely devoted Tatyana. Pavlovskaya".
