Conducted by: Valery Gergiev
Directed by: Peter Stein
Featuring: Ekaterina Semenchuk, Aleksandrs Antonenko, Oleg Balashov, René Pape, Mikhail Petrenko, Vladimir Ognovenko
René Pape takes on one of the greatest bass roles in a production by renowned theatre and opera director Peter Stein, in his Met debut. Valery Gergiev conducts Mussorgsky’s epic spectacle that captures the suffering and ambition of a nation.
“Boris Godunov is a masterpiece,” Stein says. “The challenge is to transmit the enormous emotional depth of the whole thing. Boris is the czar, but he is expressing a problem we all have: the consequences of human actions.”
Aleksandrs Antonenko, Vladimir Ognovenko and Ekaterina Semenchuk lead the huge cast in a work that is also a breathtaking showcase for the Met’s formidable chorus.
