The opera "Sadko," first performed in 1897, is based on the Russian bylina (epic tale) of the same name, which tells the story of Sadko, a gusli player and adventurer from Novgorod.

Soudeikine, born in 1882 in Smolensk, Russia, was a prominent figure in the Russian Silver Age of art and theatre. He was known for his innovative and expressive designs that significantly contributed to the visual aesthetics of early 20th-century Russian theatre. His work on "Sadko" is particularly celebrated for its ability to capture the essence of medieval Novgorod, a major cultural and economic center in ancient Russia.

Soudeikine's design reflects his deep understanding of Russian history and folklore, as well as his skill in creating immersive environments that enhance the narrative of the performance. The backdrop not only serves as a visual setting but also as a narrative device that transports the audience to the world of Sadko, enriching their experience of the opera.

Soudeikine's contribution to "Sadko" is a testament to his ability to merge fine art with stagecraft, making him a pivotal figure in the development of modern stage design.
