The composer initially wrote a tone poem on the subject in 1867, his Op. 5. After finishing his second revision of this work, he decided to turn it into a dramatic work, and composed the opera in 1894–1896. According to the Soviet critic Boris Asafyev, writing in 1922, \u003ci\u003eSadko\u003c\/i\u003e constitutes the summit of Rimsky-Korsakov's craft.
