The Golden Cockerel / Der goldene Hahn / Le coq d’or

Album by Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky‐Korsakov & Sofia National Opera Orchestra & Dimiter Manolov

The Golden Cockerel (Der goldene Hahn / Le coq d’or) is an opera in three acts by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, first performed in 1909. The score showcases Rimsky-Korsakov's late-Romantic orchestration with colourful orchestral writing, folkloric and orientalising motifs and satirical dramatic elements, and it stands as his final completed opera reflecting his mature approach to Russian nationalist opera.
