Any good anagrams for dimitrij?

Dimitrij is an opera by Antonín Dvořák in 4 acts, set to a libretto by Marie Červinková-Riegrová. More specifically, it belongs to the genre of Grand opera. Dvořák began composition during May 1881, with an interruption in October 1881 to write a string quartet for the Hellmesberger Quartet. After an initial failed attempt, the quartet was completed in November 1881, allowing work on the opera to resume. The work was first performed in Prague, at the Nové České Divadlo on October 8, 1882. The work was first performed in the United States on March 24, 1984 in a concert format presented at Carnegie Hall in New York City by conductor Robert Bass and the Collegiate Chorale with Martina Arroyo as Marina. The libretto was originally written for Karel Šebor to set, but he proved highly unwilling to do so, so Červinková-Riegrová offered her work to Dvořák, who proved much more enthusiastic, but requested plenty of modifications to the libretto as it stood, including the introduction of more opportunities for ensembles.
