The Enchantress was Nastasia, aka Kuma, a beautiful young widow who ran an inn and allowed herself to be loved, that's all. The machinations of jealous envious people and hypocrites were woven around her. The viceroy of the Moscow sovereign, Prince Kurlyatev, falls in love with Nastasia. Nastasia rejects the advances of the old voluptuary, and the young Prince, sent by his mother to kill the estranged woman, himself becomes a victim of her charms. Then the Princess, insanely jealous, decides to commit murder... Staged by Gorky Opera and Ballet Theatre in Moscow in 1984
