Modest MussorgskyThis event occurred as part of the 21/22 Arts On Screen season. This is an archived view.
Stephen Wadsworth's production of Mussorgsky's epic masterpiece brilliantly captures the suffering and ambition of the Russian people at a critical time in their nation's history.
21/22 Arts On ScreenBass René Pape, the world's reigning Boris, reprises his overwhelming portrayal of the tortured tsar caught between grasping ambition and crippling paranoia. Conductor Sebastian Weigle leads Mussorgsky's masterwork, a pillar of the Russian repertoire, in its original 1869 version, which runs two-and-a-quarter hours with no intermission. Stephen Wadsworth's affecting production poignantly captures the hope and suffering of the Russian people as well as the tsar himself.
