Which opera?

Hello

Hope this isn't too trivial: in the 1937 film "Maytime" there is a glorious duet sung by Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald as the film grows to its finale; I know the music is by Tchaikovsky but could you please tell me from what work?

On various sites I have seen it referred to as "Tzarine" but I can't find a reference in any Tchaikovsky site I have visited.

Many thanks

Bob Thornton


Dear Bob、

The music you mention is not Tchaikovsky’s opera but his symphony No.5 (second movement, Andante cantabile con alcuna licenza).
