Sergei Prokofiev in Mariinsky Theatre - 3 February, 1908
from Sergei Prokofiev diaries: 3 February 1908, page 39:
Arensky's Nal and Damayanti is a thoroughly bad opera! So far I have found a total of three beautiful moments in it, and they are really beautiful, but most of it is pure note-spinning! Worse than Asafyev! Apparently it is not doing very well and will soon be taken off.
