Alexander Borodin News

The big screen iteration of hit stage musical KISMET, directed by renown movie musical master Vincente Minnelli, is set to hit Blu-ray for the first time today.

The word 'epic' is derived from Ancient Greek via Latin, but it really should come from Russian - just ponder the vastness, the history, even the National Anthem! Nobody does epic like Russia.

PRINCE IGOR was a glorious mess when Alexander Borodin died suddenly in 18, leaving it to others to finish a work he'd toiled on for nearly 20 years but hadn't quite made whole. With no definitive version of the opera, it was only performed by the Met in 1917--until Dmitri Tcherniakov's new production premiered last week. Musically rich, scenically fascinating, it's good to have it back where it belongs.

Alexander Borodin's defining Russian Epic, Prince Igor, famous for its Polovtsian Dances, comes to the Metropolitan Opera for the first time in nearly 100 years. The highly-acclaimed production can be seen live on the big screen at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater on Saturday, March 1, at Noon.
