In ancient Rome, Spartacus, a Thracian soldier, is
captured by Crassus with his wife Phrygia. Forced to
fight as a gladiator and kill one of his friends, Spartacus
plots an uprising.
Grigorovich's Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in

signature ballet. This most spectacular production is an
epic tour de force, giving full expression to the strength
for which the Bolshoi’s male dancers are renowned.

Boris Godunov
Live from the Royal Opera House, London
Richard Jones and Antonio Pappano renew their
creative collaboration with this new production of
Musorgsky’s historical masterpiece, here seen in its
compact 1869 first version of seven scenes. Bryn Terfel
takes the lead, with John Graham-Hall appearing as the
crafty Prince Shuisky and John Tomlinson as the
vagabond monk Varlaam.
The originality of the composer’s vision of Pushkin’s play
about Tsar Boris Godunov - who reigned over Russia
between 1598 and 1605 - was too much for the Imperial
Theatres, who demanded changes that were
incorporated in the second version of the opera. Many
commentators prefer the integrity of the original
format, which makes few concessions to operatic
conventions.

remains empty and un-etched and folk start to wonder.
