- Rimsky-Korsakov's earlier symphonic poem Sadko, Op. 5 (1867), may be regarded as a precursor to the opera, as it is based on the same story and the opera incorporates several musical ideas from the orchestral work. There are three versions:
- Episode from the Bïlina of Sadko (1867)
- Musical Tableau–Sadko (1869)
- Musical Tableau–Sadko (1892)

“Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.”
