The Fountain of Bakhchisaray

The Fountain of Bakhchisaray (Russian: «Бахчисарайский фонтан», Bakhchisaraiskiy fontan) is a poem by Alexander Pushkin, written during the years 1821 to 1823.

During the autumn of 1823, the poem received its final finishing and was prepared for printing.

In 1899, composer Anton Arensky wrote a five-part cantata, including an aria of Zarema.

In 1934, Boris Asafyev created a ballet of the same name, also inspired by Pushkin's work, and Alexander Ilyinsky composed an opera (1911) based on the poem.

Alexander von Zemlinsky's 1897 opera Sarema takes its name from a character in the poem, and is based upon it.
