This article explores how British concerns over the state of their own national music, in combination with Russo-British political tensions, impacted the reception of A Life for the Tsar. Explanations are offered as to why the opera reached the stage; why its success was so short-lived; and what, if not exoticism, drew directors and audiences (albeit briefly) to the performances.
