A ruler wracked with guilt, power-greedy conspirators, a fickle people and a monk, who writes history, in the true sense of the word: Boris Godunov is crowned Tsar, to the delight of the people, after Dimitri, legitimate heir to the throne, was murdered. The monk Pimen naming the ruler as the murderer in his chronicles of Russian history inspires the novice Grigori to pass himself off as Dimitri, who escaped with his life after all, and lay claim to the throne, backed by ambitious Marina, Polish Voyevoda's daughter. While Boris struggles with ghosts of the past, the Boyars wonder how to get rid of the new usurper, but the »fake Dimitri« ends up being crowned Tsar.

Boris Godunov

Oper Frankfurt

Exciting listening experiences are guaranteed when chief conductor Ivan Repušić takes you acoustically to his home country of Croatia. This time, the contemporary composer Frano Parać will be introduced - also in person on stage: a sound magician and wanderer between worlds who transformed from a rock musician to a professor at the Zagreb Academy of Music. His biblical opera Judita is based on the Croatian national epic of the same name by Marko Marulić and combines modern musical language with south-eastern European tradition.
