Opera Sadko. Rimsky-Korsakov. Sketch of costumes “Sadko’s retinue.”

“I create Novgorod people costumes corresponding to their social standings keeping historical authenticity. A man with a big purse can be recognized in a rich red merchant costume. Costumes of poor men (Sadko squad) are light and easy. These are the costumes for characters who are always ready to move.”
F.Fedorovsky
