 Composer, born in Novospasskoye, Russia. He was a civil servant, but after a visit to Italy began to study music in Berlin. His opera A Life for the Tsar (1836, known earlier as Ivan Susanin) was followed by Russlan and Ludmilla (1842), which pioneered the style of the Russian national school of composers. He left Russia in 1844, and lived in Spain and France, returning home in 1854. |
