Maĭskai︠a︡ nochʹ [videorecording] : opera v 3 deĭstvii︠a︡kh / Moskovskiĭ muzykalʹnyĭ teatr im. K.S. Stanislavskogo i Vl. I. Nemirovicha-Danchenko ; N.A. Rimskiĭ-Korsakov ; libretto N.A. Rimskogo-Korsakova po odnoimennoĭ povesti N.V. Gogoli︠a︡ = May night : opera in three acts / a production of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre ; music by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov ; libretto by the composer after the story by Nicolai Gogol.

While essentially a comic opera, May night also encompasses the darker side of bucolic life in the form of the drowned spectral maidens who haunt the village. The humorous and tragic elements are united and resolved happily in the central love story between the mayor's son, Levko and Hannah.
