General Information

Description

New production.

Director Barrie Kosky and Ukranian conductor Kirill Karabits together decided to present Zurich audiences with all the music Mussorgsky wrote. Inspired by a further figure in the opera – the monk Pimen, who maintains a chronology of Russia – Barrie Kosky’s new production also explores the question of how we write history, how we remember it, and how we instrumentalize it. 

More information is available on the official website of the opera house.
