Russia, at the dawn of the seventeenth century. Following the murder of Tsarevich Dmitry, son of Ivan the Terrible, the people long for a ruler who can put an end to hunger and oppression. Boyar Boris Godunov is installed on the throne, but doubts about his involvement in the murder undermine his power. He himself is consumed by remorse …

Modest Musorgsky adapted Pushkin’s historical chronicle of this turbulent period into an unparalleled masterpiece, putting his musical language at the service of Pushkin’s words and turning the chorus into a truly dramatic character. La Monnaie presents Musorgsky’s first version of Boris Godunov (1869), in which the narrative unfolds inexorably. In Vasily Barkhatov’s production, Godunov is not only a tormented ruler, but also a loving father, embroiled in eternal power games. After such productions as The Tale of Tsar Saltan and Yevgeny Onegin, Alain Altinoglu’s craftsmanship in this repertoire needs no introduction.
