Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov [a] [b] (18 March 1844 – 21 June 1908) [c] was a Russian composer, a member of the group of composers known as The Five. [d] He was a master of orchestration.
The Five (Russian: Могучая кучка, lit. 'Mighty Bunch'), also known as the Mighty Handful or The Mighty Five, were five prominent 19th-century Russian composers who worked together to create a distinct national style of classical music: Mily Balakirev (the leader), César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin.
May Night (Russian: Майская ночь, romanized: Mayskaya noch listen ⓘ) is a comic opera in three acts, four scenes, by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov from a libretto by the composer and is based on Nikolai Gogol's story "May Night, or the Drowned Maiden", from his collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka (1829-1832).
Rimsky-Korsakov was not able to meet Berlioz due to the French composer's ill health.

[16] Rimsky-Korsakov began work on Antar on January 21, between these two concerts. [16]
Composed between 1894 and 1895, Rimsky-Korsakov based his opera on a short story, "Christmas Eve", from Nikolai Gogol's 1832 collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka.
