Congratulations! (opera)
Pozdravlyayem! (Russian: «Поздравляем!» Congratulations!, Op. 111) is a 1975 opera by Mieczysław Weinberg to his own Russian libretto after the Yiddish play Mazel Tov by Sholem Aleichem.[1][2][3] The plot follows closely the text of Aleichem's play, but emphasising the class conflict to placate the Soviet censor, for whom otherwise a Jewish topic may have proved problematic.[4] The opera premiered in Moscow in 1983. Present at the premiere was Vladimir Stoupel who conducted the premiere outside Russia at the Konzerthaus Berlin in 2012.
