''Kashchey the Deathless'' (Russian: Кащей Бессмертный, Kashchey Bessmertnyy) is a 1902 one-act opera by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, based on Russian fairytales. The plot is centered on Prince Ivan rescuing his fiancée, Tsarevna Beloved Beauty, from the clutches of Kashchey the Deathless

!! Tropes featured in the opera:
* EvilSoundsDeep:
** Inverted completely with the male leads. Kashchey is a squeaky character tenor, while Prince Ivan is a baritone and the helpful Storm-Bogatyr is a bass.
** Played straight with the female leads. Kashchey's daughter is an AltoVillainess. The good tsarevna is a soprano.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Really, it should be Kashchey's motto.
** He randomly sends the Storm-Bogatyr to his daughter's realm to check up on her. Since the Storm-Bogatyr is a cold strong wind, his gusts make Prince Ivan snap out of the effects of a LovePotion.
** He puts own death in the tears of his young daughter and sends her to lure in and kill young men. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong? Naturally, once Kashcheyevna falls in love with Prince Ivan and cries, Kashchey drops dead.
* WeatherManipulation: Kashchey is able to summon blizzards.
