Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893):

Tchaikovsky completed ten operas, although one of these is mostly lost and another exists in two significantly different versions. In the West the most famous of his operas are Eugene Onegin and The Queen of Spades, both of which hold a firm place in the standard repertoire.

  • The Voyevoda [Воевода], Op. 3 (1867–1868); full score destroyed by composer, but posthumously reconstructed from sketches and orchestral parts
  • Undina (or Undine) [Ундина] (1869) ; was not completed. Only a march sequence from this opera saw the light of day, as the second movement of his Symphony #2 in C Minor and a few other segments are occasionally heard as concert pieces. Interestingly, while Tchaikovsky revised the Second symphony twice in his lifetime, he did not alter the second movement (taken from the Undina material) during either revision. The rest of the score of Undina was destroyed by the composer.
  • The Oprichnik [Опричник] (1870–1872)
  • Vakula the Smith [Кузнец Вакула], Op. 14 (1874); revised later as Cherevichki
  • Eugene Onegin [Евгений Онегин], Op. 24 (1877–1878)
  • The Maid of Orleans [Орлеанская дева] (1878–1879)
  • Mazeppa [Мазепа] (1881–1883)
  • Cherevichki [Черевички]; revision of Vakula the Smith (1885)
  • The Enchantress (or The Sorceress) [Чародейка] (1885–1887)
  • The Queen of Spades [Пиковая дама - Pikovaya dama], Op. 68 (1890)
  • Iolanta (or Iolanthe) [Иоланта], Op. 69 (1891); originally performed on a double-bill with The Nutcracker

(Note: A "Chorus of Insects" was composed for the projected opera Mandragora [Мандрагора] of 1870.)
