Pushkin — The Tale of Tsar Saltan, Part Two
Disclosure: this performance is narrated by AI-generated voices.
Shrunk to a mosquito, Prince Gvidon rides the merchants' ship to his father's court — and hears a wonder traded for a wonder: first the squirrel cracking golden nuts beneath the fir, then thirty-three knights rising out of the sea, and at last, from spiteful lips, one tale too many — of a princess with a star upon her brow. Three times the prince flies home across the water; then the Swan keeps her greatest secret no longer, and Tsar Saltan, kept from his son by three pairs of lying eyes, builds a fleet at last.
