Boris Godunow – Oper von Modest Petrowitsch Mussorgski
Dirigent: Jac van Steen
Choreinstudierung: Holger Kristen

#BorisGodunow

After the death of the tsar, there was political turmoil in Russia. Forced by police clubs, the people of Moscow ask that the aristocrat Boris Godunov take over rule. Boris himself actually wants to reject the crown, but inwardly he longs for power. Allegedly he had the old tsar's young son murdered in order to gain access to the crown. Or is the story of the dead Tsarevich, whose bones miraculously glow in his coffin, just a rumor? Then who is that Dimitri who pretends to be heir to the throne and who gathers troops against the tsar in the border area?

“Boris Godunow” is a play about truth and lies in politics, greed for power and the burden of political responsibility.

In 1998 Harry Kupfer staged the original version at the Volksoper. The planned new production staged by Peter Konwitschny had to be canceled due to the pandemic. The Volksoper therefore presents the monumental opera in a concert version.
