Bass René Pape takes on one of the greatest roles in a production by monumental theater and opera director Peter Stein, in his Met debut. Valery Gergiev conducts Mussorgsky’s soulful spectacle, which 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. “Boris,” Stein says, “is one of the richest operas ever written.” Run time is 5 hours and 30 minutes. *SUBSCRIPTION PRICES AVAILABLE! - Buy 3-6 different operas and receive 5% off each ticket - Buy 7-10 different operas and receive 10% off each ticket - Buy 11-12 operas and receive 15% off all tickets!!!
