Talk:Mlada (Act I) (Cui, César)

The music Minkus wrote was never used in the opera. He later used it in a ballet of his own. --MrLopez2681 16:36, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

I have Minkus's music for Mlada - the music he composed for the intended opera was later used and expanded for Marius Petipa's 1876 ballet Mlada. Not one bar of Minkus's music turned up in Rimsky-Korsakov's opera or any of Cui's works, nor would rither men have ever allowed Minkus's music in their works anyway. --MrLopez2681 01:52, 8 August 2008 (EDT)
