Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov with Ren茅 Pape (Boris Godunov), Ekaterina Semenchuk (Marina), Aleksandrs Antonenko (Dimitri). Pavel Smelkov conducts at the New York Metropolitan Opera.
Tonight's Live from the Met is Mussorgsky's dramatic Pushkin-based opera Boris Godunov. Ren茅 Pape takes on one of the great operatic bass roles of Boris, who kills the heir to the Russian throne and subsequently becomes Tsar himself.
