The Russian opera Boris Godunov is being screened at the Eden Cinemas, St Julian’s, on March 21 at 8.15pm. Broadcast live from the Royal Opera House in London, the acclaimed new production of Musorgsky is conducted by Antonia Pappano and follows the dramatic rise and fall of the Tsar.

Both haunting and political, the opera is a drama of conscience and oppression where the characters are pushed to their very limits. Boris Godunov, performed by Bryn Terfel, is considered to be one of the greatest and most complex bass-baritone roles and the monumental score is enhanced by huge choral forces.

This production is directed for the stage by the award-winning Richard Jones. Interwoven with Russian icons and Eastern folklore, the story is told through a series of hallucinations in an unidentified era allowing the dark political themes to run through the story.

Through such productions, the Royal Opera House continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance in cinemas worldwide. With enhanced surround sound and dimmed theatre lighting in the Eden Cinemas’ multipurpose theatre, the audience is provided with the authentic feel as though watching the production live at the Royal Opera House itself. Tickets are available online.
