BORIS GODUNOV at Ekaterinburg State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre

-Boris Godunov-a brilliant piece of writing, the flesh of the flesh, the blood from the blood of Russian history. A hero in the Mussorgsky, like Pushkin, Russia is a tragedy. Musorgsky is one of the few composers, and perhaps even the only one who really knew how to write the people – not out of tune, as faithfully and sincerely.

I repeatedly received from various theatres of the invitation put «Boris Godunov». There was a time when I said no, as long as it is not necessary. And now, having received an offer from the Ekaterinburg Opera Theater, I thought that the time has come.

"Boris Godunov" is a work, still stirring, forcing us to experience, reflect. Opera on the crisis – and it's in the story. Talking about the crisis in relations between the authorities and the people, it concerns a change of dynasty, the people no longer trust the power and respect her. I'd like to see heroes of our performance has recognizable to the auditorium opened a living history. Not limited to any time frame that tells not only of Boris Godunov, which was, but Boris Godunov to be.
