The Khovansky case

Mussorgsky's magnificent Chowanschtschina will be performed by a BOM triple cast at the Staatsoper unter den Linden starting on the 2nd of June 2024. Led in the title role by Mika Kares as Prince Ivan Khovansky, other roles will be performed by Marina Prudenskaya as Marfa and Johan Krogius as Streshnev, as well as George Gagnizde as Boyar Shaklovity, Stephan Rügamer as Vasily Golitsyn and Taras Shtonda as Dosifey.
In this production, based on the version by Dmitri Schostakowitsch and Igor Stravinsky, Claus Guth pays particular attention to the different worlds of the individual personalities and thus gives the audience the opportunity to experience history beyond the political events and power games. Together with Simone Young's conducting, this results in an all-encompassing staging of history that represents ‘the past in the present’.

Further performance dates:
06./ 09. / 13. / 16. / 23.06
