ENO Music Director Edward Gardner conducts this major new production of Musorgskys seven-scene version of Boris Godunov directed by Tim Albery. With its haunting music and highly expressive vocal lines, it is a spectacular account of murder and skulduggery among the ruling elite in 16th-century Russia.

At its heart is the towering role of Boris, the Tsar who descends terrifyingly into madness and death. In an opera celebrated for its abundance of great bass roles, the internationally acclaimed Peter Rose plays Boris, while Brindley Sherratt and Jonathan Veira take on the roles of the monks Pimen and Varlaam.
