Approved

Concert version of Mussorgsky’s dark, dramatic opera Khovanshchina. It is set at the end of the 17th century, at the beginning of Peter I´s reign, before the young tsar has come of age – the stage is set for a power struggle. The combatants are the military against the tsar, orthodox against reformed religion, east against west. There are magnificent choral parts and powerful personas, including the young widow Marfa, one of the most gripping mezzo-soprano parts in the history of opera.
