Tchaikovsky's Operas and Ballet Faced Initial Failure
Composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky stated that his operas 'The Oprichnik', 'The Oulady of Orleans', 'Mazeppa', and 'The Queen of Spades' were his own works. Tchaikovsky's ballet 'Swan Lake' was inspired by his difficult financial situation, and its premiere was expected to fail. The ballet only achieved fame and success after the composer's death.
