La Khovantschina: Paris Opera

Over het evenement

Experience Modest Mussorgsky's sombre and entrancing opera, La Khovantschina, in Paris. The plot revolved around a prince's opposition to the Tsar's attempts to westernize Russia in 1682.

Left unfinished by Mussorgsky, La Khovantschina was first performed in an arrangement by Rimski‐Korsakov. Dmitri Shostakovich revised the work in 1959, creating a version closer to the intentions of the composer.
