Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
Episode 3 of 5: A Private Life in Turmoil

Whilst Tchaikovsky's reputation was growing, his personal life was becoming intolerable.

Tchaikovsky was stuck in a marriage that was founded on a huge misunderstanding. He was gay and had thought that the union was a mutually agreeable arrangement. However, his wife did not understand at all, and remained under the delusion that Tchaikovsky loved her. His struggles with their hopeless relationship drove both to unbearable mental anquish.
Whilst all this was going on Tchaikovsky was fêted in Russia, composing his 1812 overture and his ballet Swan Lake. He was now in a position to stop teaching at the conservatoire and make his living composing full-time.
