An Evening in Sorrento
"An Evening in Sorrento"
also: Вечер в Сорренто, Vecher v Sorrento
One-act play by Ivan Turgenev, mentioned here only as the piece that Chekhov's "The Bear" once replaced on the Korsh Theater's bill without appearing on the playbill -- the likely source of a performance-count discrepancy in Kondratyev's royalty statement.
Reading notes
- To I. M. Kondratyev, 5 March 1889. Moscow. §5 Turgenev's "An Evening in Sorrento"
A one-act play by Ivan Turgenev, "Вечер в Сорренто" ("An Evening in Sorrento"), mentioned here only as the piece "The Bear" replaced on one occasion at Korsh's -- the substitution, made without updating the playbill, is Chekhov's explanation for the discrepancy in his performance count. Not otherwise a matter needing disambiguation in this letter.
