Борис Годунов
overview
Description: Premiere of this production: April 25, 2007
Libretto by Modest Mussorgsky, based on Alexander Pushkin’s play of the same name
Sung in Russian.
Presented with three interval (with Sokurov explaining the process of work on the play)
For this wholly new production of Musorgsky's Boris Godunov, conductor Alexander Vedernikov and film director Alexander Sokurov chose the 1871 redaction of the opera, with nine scenes in five acts. The major differences from the more commonly performed versions are a smaller orchestra and the omission of the Kromy scene.
