The collaboration between Feodor Chaliapin and the outstanding impressionist painter Konstantin Korovin was fruitful. Vladimir Arkadyevich Telyakovsky, who headed the Imperial Theaters, believed that this painter’s ideology had the most in common with Chaliapin’s, that he understood Chaliapin’s personality well, supported his creative ideas and made critical comments about them, which proved to have a beneficial effect on the development of the singer’s dynamic personality.

The Chaliapin Estate Museum houses a 1911 sketch of streltsy costumes for Modest Mussorgsky’s opera “Khovanshchina”, drawn by Konstantin Korovin for the Mariinsky Theater. The painter and the singer worked together on the staging of “Khovanshchina”.

Mussorgsky based the opera on works describing the events of the first Streltsy uprising of 1682 and imbued the music with artistic individuality, with the sounds reflecting the raging crowd and the benign specks of reason amid total chaos.

The Mariinsky Theater is completing a production of Mussorgsky’s ‘Khovanshchina’. The opera is staged at the insistence of Feodor Chaliapin, an ardent admirer of Mussorgsky’s talent… Not only the famous singer performs the part of Dosifey in ‘Khovanshchina’ but he also plays a big role in the production. According to the cast, Feodor Chaliapin is an amazing stage director. He explains all his observations using examples, singing some portions of their parts in his distinct Chaliapin style. The performers listen to Feodor Chaliapin’s instructions with full attention: no one takes offense at the great maestro’s remarks.

Konstantin Alexeevich Korovin, who was in charge of the design of the performance, made sketches of the scenery and costumes and collaborated with Chaliapin, who acted both as the director and the singer, in staging the opera. Even though Chaliapin and Korovin no longer worked on major productions together after 1912, they continued to maintain a lively friendship and exchange creative ideas.
