Stravinsky's Mavra is a one-act opera buffa and one of the earliest works of the composer's 'neo-classical' period. The libretto of the opera, by Boris Kochno, is based on Aleksandr Pushkin's The Little House in Kolomna. Mavra premiered in Paris on June 3, 1922, staged under the auspices of Sergei Diaghilev, with Oda Slobdoskaya among the original cast and though it was not successful, it was praised by Satie and Stravinsky himself later said that "Mavra seems to me the best thing I've done".
