    Based on Alexander Pushkin’s 1833 short story‚ Tchaikovsky’s penultimate operatic work is a musically idiosyncratic mixture of his recognizable orchestral style with elements of pastiche.

The orchestra played 5 songs totally‚ which were Dvorak carnival overture‚ Chopin Piano Concerto No.2‚ Mussorgsky Khovanshchina Prelude to Act One‚ Prokofiev Five selections from Romeo and Juliet‚ and Tchaikovsky 1812 overture.
