Ivan the Terrible -  (Ivan le Terrible)

Surrey

Royaume-Uni

The 2021 season’s most spectacular opera is not a blood and guts depiction of Tsarist terror but, at its heart is a tender story of the all-powerful ruler re-discovering his long-lost illegitimate daughter. What we see on-stage is Ivan described in the most tender terms as a passionate lover in the Prologue, and then in its final scene as an emotional father with his daughter.

Opera giant David Pountney directs a truly international cast including Mariinsky conductor Tatarnikov.

Ivan the Terrible is a spectacle, a hidden gem, with expansive music, passionate plot and vivid crowd scenes.

Valide

The evening begins with a Prologue, which tells the story of a secret passion. The main opera is set 20 years later. Attempting to unify Russia, Tsar Ivan “The Terrible” is re-asserting his authority over rebellious regions. He has recently brutally subjugated and destroyed nearby Novgorod, just 200 versts from Pskov. The city of Pskov fears a similar fate. But when Ivan comes to subdue Pskov, he encounters intimate and familial issues that precede his political objectives.

 

The Prologue Boyarin Vera Sheloga

Vera confesses to her sister Nadezhda that her daughter Olga is the result of an affair with a mysterious stranger while her husband, Ivan Sheloga, was away fighting for Tsar Ivan. When her husband unexpectedly returns, Nadescha saves the situation by pretending Olga is her child.

The main action takes place 20 years later. In the meantime Nadezhda married the Prince Tokmakov, but both Vera and  Nadezhda died young. Tomakov has brought Olga up as his own daughter.
