About Boris Godunov - Royal Ballet and Opera
Power? At what price?
History will play out in front of your eyes as the ruthless Tsar Boris Godunov grapples with his sacrifices in the name of power.
After being crowned the Tsar of Russia, his spiral into paranoia hastens as he is haunted with his role in the murder of the rightful heir to the throne. And the arrival of a pretender claiming to be said murdered heir certainly doesn't help.
Be blown away by mighty choruses and the power of one of the most cherished singers of all time, Sir Bryn Terfel, Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov is an unmissable work of theatre.
