Show Notes
The opera was composed between February and April 1885 at Maidanovo. Both Vakula the Smith and Cherevichki were set to Polonsky's libretto, which was originally intended for Alexander Serov but had remained unused on account of his death. Additions and revisions for this second version were made by the composer and Nikolay Chayev.
