The Nightingale (Russian: Соловей - Solovyei; French: Le Rossignol) is a Russian conte lyrique in three acts by Igor Stravinsky. The libretto, based on the tale of The Nightingale by Hans Christian Andersen, was written by the composer and Stepan Mitussov. It was first performed on 26 May 1914 by the Ballets Russes at the Palais Garnier in Paris.

The Nightingale (French: Le rossignol) is a Russian conte lyrique in three acts by Igor Stravinsky. It is generally known by its French name. Stravinsky had begun work on the opera in 1908, but put it aside for several years after he had received the commission from Sergei Diaghilev for the ballet The Firebird. He completed it in 1914, after he had completed his other two major ballets for Diaghilev, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring

Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: Petrushka, Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) by unknown (1990-10-25). The Scherzo fantastique, Stravinsky's opus number 3, already has elements of exciting, unusual compositional color and edgy rhythms that go beyond Rimsky-Korsokov. The five-minute Zvezoliki, with male chorus, is full of moodiness; translations of the text about nature and agriculture, are included in package notes. The weakness of the album is L'Historie du Soldat. It is based on the second and third acts of the composer's opera "The Nightingale", which had premiered in 1914; the tone poem itself was premiered in 1917. The final piece, "The Soldier's Tale", is undoubtedly one of the more unusual works not only of Stravinsky in general, but 20th century music in particular.

Le chant du rossignol (commonly referred to in the US as The Song of the Nightingale) is a symphonic poem written by Igor Stravinsky in 1917. The score is adapted from his earlier work, Le rossignol (The Nightingale), an opera from 1914. The opera, based on Hans Christian Andersen's tale The Nightingale, is set in three acts, told from the point of view of a Chinese fisherman. In the orchestral version, Stravinsky mostly uses music from acts two and three.

Stravinsky's Le Rossignol (The Nightingale) is a "musical fairy tale" based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen. It is an opera in three acts, scored for full orchestra with optional guitar and mandolin parts. According to Stravinsky, he chose a Hans Christian Andersen tale out of nostalgia for his boyhood. It is considered a short work for an opera-about forty-five minutes-and its three acts, as Eric White notes, are more like three scenes in a single-act opera

Without looking up Stravinsky biographies to see what has been written about that premiere, I would expect the principal reasons to be: The opera was performed as a ballet on stage and the singers had to sit in the pit. Opera lovers would not be amused. Stravinsky had changed styles during composition.

Stravinsky began composing Le rossignol in early 1908 while he was still a composition pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, and the first act of the opera was substan-tially completed by 1909. But the commission that led to the composition of L'Oiseau de feu (The Firebird) (1910), Petrushka (1911), and then Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) (1913) delayed the composition of the second and third acts until 1914. Stravinsky divided the music of the two acts into three unequal parts: the shorter "The Feast in the Emperor of China's Palace" and "The Two Nightingales," and the much longer "Illness and Recovery of the Emperor of China," with its substantial epilogue in the form of a funeral march.
