Mikhail Glinka is called the "father of the Russian school and opera". His operas "A Live for the Tsar" and "Ruslan and Lyudmila" are now considered outstanding staple works in opera houses not just in Russia but all over the world. Glinka's romances and songs reflect the composer's own feelings in respect of contemporary events and his life.
