Abstract. The article is devoted to the variant of the libretto of the XIX century ballet ("The Corsair") proposed by a modern author. This scenario was designed to "return" the play to its supposedly "original source" (A. S. Pushkin’s poem "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray"), but the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the play is a mixture of numerous literary and theatrical plot motifs.
Key words and phrases: "Морской разбойник", "Бахчисарайский фонтан", "Кавказский пленник", балет, либретто, вариант, "The Corsair", "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray", "The Prisoner of the Caucasus", ballet, libretto, variant
