	Kashperov attempted his first opera'' The Gypsies'' in 1850, based on [[Pushkin]]'s poem and with a libretto provided by the revolutionary poet [[Nikolay Ogaryov]] (1813–1877), but it remained unfinished. During his long residence in Italy (from 1857 to 1865), he composed a number of operas in the Italian style and using Italian librettos, including ''Maria Tudor'', which was staged in [[Milan]] in 1859, and ''Rienzi'' (1863). He was acquainted with the novelist [[Ivan Turgenev]], who for a while saw in him a possible "heir to [[Glinka]]".

	In 1865, he received an invitation from [[Nikolay Rubinstein]] to become professor of singing at the newly opened [[Moscow]] Conservatory. Kashperov accepted and returned in 1866 to Russia, where he also tried to make a name for himself as a composer by asking [[Aleksandr Ostrovsky]] to adapt his famous tragedy ''The Storm'' (Гроза) into an operatic libretto. When Tchaikovsky found out in the winter of 1866-67 that this tragedy, which was very close to his heart and had inspired his youthful overture ''[[The Storm]]'', was now being turned into an opera by Kashperov, he was very disappointed because he had hoped to do so himself <ref name="note1"/>.

	Kashperov taught singing at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory for a number of years (1866–72), where he was a colleague of Tchaikovsky. There seems to have been a certain ill-feeling between the two, as Kashperov was liable to resent the successes of others, and Tchaikovsky wrote ironically about Kashperov's teaching methods in some of his articles (e.g. [[TH 277]]). In 1873 he went back to Italy for a while, but later returned to [[Moscow]], where [[Turgenev]] was an occasional visitor to his house during his last stays in Russia. Kashperov's last opera ''Taras Bulba'', based on [[Gogol]]'s historical tale of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, was staged at the [[Moscow]] Bolshoi Theatre on 20 April/2 May 1887, but did not maintain itself on the repertoire. In 1890 he became a teacher of choral song at various '' zemstvo'' schools in the [[Moscow]] province and held this post until his death.
