A Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Music, Anna Nisnevich is writing a dissertation on The Silver Age and Its Echo: Saint Petersburg Classicism at Home and Abroad, 1897–1922. This study of Russian aristocratic culture at the turn of the twentieth century uses musical theater to complicate the commonly held view of the Russian Silver Age as a brief flourishing of arts and culture. Nisnevich argues for a continuity between the dominant culture of Imperial Russia, artistic experimentations in the time between Russian revolutions (1905–1917), and the postrevolutionary echoes of that dominant culture at home and in exile.
