Thanks, Tyumen, sounds good. And Chaliapin was quite a character! He is mentioned in the book "A Lifelong Passion." During a 1913 performance of Boris Godunov, Chaliapin knelt down in front of the royal box (with the cast) when the orchestra and audience struck up 'God Save the Tsar.' As this was not part of the opera, Nicholas was confused and remained slightly in the shadows of the box, but his mother pushed him forward with her knees to acknowledge the gesture. Kostya wrote about this in his diary. I love that story as it illustrates the sincerity of Nicholas' humble attitude toward his rank. Also interesting because Chaliapin was no fan of monarchy.
