"Slaves"
FWIW, that's what the Cambridge History of Russian Literature calls it. I don't know whether that's their own idea, or if somebody titled a published translation like that.

slave-girls
At least that's how they translate the song title on Chaliapin's facebook (sic!!!):
the song of the slave-girls (невольницы) at the beginning ... Translation to English is left as an exercise for the readers! ...

I don't see why the play title should be translated differently.
