I thought it was first performed 29-Nov-1925 in Paris, conducted by Sergei Koussevitsky..? (http://www.prokofiev.org/catalog/work.cfm?WorkID=62) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.237.8.60 (talk) 12:03, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

According to the Auditorium's website, the Premiere in Chicago was on Dec. 31, 1921, not on the 30th: 2600:8803:A79C:0:86D:2840:28AC:AD7B (talk) 14:43, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

The literature on the subject is quite clear: Taruskin in Grove and Pisani in his 1997 article, who cites Emil Raymond, Musical America 35 (7 January 1922), and others give 30 December. We can't change the date based on an unreferenced entry in a web page, even if it's by the venue itself. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:10, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

List of recordings

FYI

Do we really want to try and maintain a list of recordings? There's at least one more (a DVD featuring Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest and Koor van De Nederlandse Opera), probably others. --Raboof (talk) 20:27, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Satire?

Lead states of this opera by Prokofiev is satirical, but it never says how… Can anyone explain how Prokofiev made this satirical, and how his version of the story differs from the original? - Aboudaqn (talk) 04:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

It's explained a bit here and here. Other adjectives like bizarre, grotesque, farcical, surrealist could also be used. Watch it in a theatre near you, or here. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:17, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
