Judith (Юдифь in Cyrillic, Judif’ in transliteration -- stressed on the second syllable), is an opera in five acts, composed by Alexander Serov during 1861-1863. Derived from renditions of the story of Judith from the Old Testament Apocrypha, the Russian libretto, though credited to the composer, has a complicated history (see below). The premiere took place at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg on 16 May 1863 (Old Style).
