Omnibus: Who Killed Tchaikovsky? - A 1993 BBC special presentation examining the controversy surrounding Tchaikovsky's death.
What caused the sudden death of the great Russian composer in 1893? Consider the alarming possibilities in this compelling BBC documentary drama. Did he die from cholera, as his brother insisted? Or from sorrow about a brief, disastrous, marriage that ended years earlier? Or-as many who knew him suspected-did he commit suicide in response to the trauma of being homosexual at a time when official punishment was exile to Siberia? Filmed on location in St. Petersburg, with Ed Stoppard (The Pianist), and Charles Hazlewood conducting. Extra: BBC special Who Killed Tchaikovsky?
