Editing Alexander Pushkin (section)

===Musical===
Pushkin's works also provided fertile ground for Russian composers. [[Mikhail Glinka|Glinka]]'s ''[[Ruslan and Lyudmila (opera)|Ruslan and Lyudmila]]'' is the earliest important Pushkin-inspired opera, and a landmark in the tradition of Russian music. [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]]'s operas ''[[Eugene Onegin (opera)|Eugene Onegin]]'' (1879) and ''[[The Queen of Spades (opera)|The Queen of Spades]]'' (''Pikovaya Dama'', 1890) became perhaps better known outside of Russia than Pushkin's own works of the same name.

[[Modest Mussorgsky|Mussorgsky]]'s monumental ''[[Boris Godunov (opera)|Boris Godunov]]'' (two versions, 1868–9 and 1871–2) ranks as one of the very finest and most original of Russian operas. Other Russian operas based on Pushkin include [[Alexander Dargomyzhsky|Dargomyzhsky]]'s ''[[Rusalka (Dargomyzhsky)|Rusalka]]'' and ''[[The Stone Guest (Dargomyzhsky)|The Stone Guest]]''; [[Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov|Rimsky-Korsakov]]'s ''[[Mozart and Salieri (opera)|Mozart and Salieri]]'', ''[[The Tale of Tsar Saltan (Rimsky-Korsakov)|Tale of Tsar Saltan]]'', and ''[[The Golden Cockerel]]''; [[César Cui|Cui]]'s ''[[Prisoner of the Caucasus (opera)|Prisoner of the Caucasus]]'', ''[[Feast in Time of Plague (opera)|Feast in Time of Plague]]'', and ''[[The Captain's Daughter (opera)|The Captain's Daughter]]''; [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky|Tchaikovsky]]'s ''[[Mazeppa (opera)|Mazeppa]]''; [[Sergei Rachmaninoff|Rachmaninoff]]'s one-act operas ''[[Aleko (opera)|Aleko]]'' (based on ''The Gypsies'') and ''[[The Miserly Knight]]''; [[Igor Stravinsky|Stravinsky]]'s ''[[Mavra]]'', and [[Eduard Nápravník|Nápravník]]'s ''[[Dubrovsky (opera)|Dubrovsky]]''.

Additionally, ballets and [[cantata]]s, as well as innumerable [[Art song|songs]], have been set to Pushkin's verse (including even his French-language poems, in [[Isabelle Aboulker]]'s [[song cycle]] "[[Troika (Julia Kogan album)|Caprice étrange]]"). [[Franz von Suppé|Suppé]], [[Ruggiero Leoncavallo|Leoncavallo]] and [[Gian Francesco Malipiero|Malipiero]] have also based operas on his works.<ref>Taruskin R.

''The Desire of Glory'', which has been dedicated to Elizaveta Vorontsova, was set to music by [[David Tukhmanov]], as well as ''Keep Me, Mine Talisman'' – by [[Alexander Barykin]]  and later by Tukhmanov.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
