WHAT'S ON
OPERA: Boris Godunov
Viewing Period: 25 Mar. 2023 3:00 - 24 Sep. 2023 19:00 JST
Sung in Russian with English, Russian and Japanese subtitles
Recorded on 17 November 2022
Boris Godunov is the only opera by Mussorgsky based on the real-life Boris Godunov, a Russian Tsar during the Time of Troubles in the late 16th century. Conceived as a co-production with the Polish National Opera, this new production was directed by Mariusz Treliński, the Artistic Director of the Polish National Opera, and conducted by Ono Kazushi, the Artistic Director of the NNTT. The production focuses on the relationship between Boris and his son Fyodor, and depicts Boris's guilt and conflict.
A strong cast, including Guido Jentjens and Arnold Bezuyen, who excel in characterisation, and rising singers Goderdzi Janelidze and Kudo Kazuma, make for a spectacular performance.
This production combines the 1869 Original Version and the 1872 Revised Version of the opera.

Sung in Italian with English and Japanese subtitles
Recorded on 2 July 2023
Set in 19th century Paris, "La Bohème" depicts the pure love of the poet Rodolfo and the seamstress Mimì, and the impoverished yet free spirit of young artists with dreams of future success. This romantic story is interwoven with dulcet melodies typical of Puccini. The stage design is a realistic reproduction of Paris at the time, a major feat by director AGUNI Jun. The psychological characterisations carefully woven throughout each act are deeply evocative.
Mimì will be sung by Alessandra Marianelli, an Italian soprano who has appeared in various European opera houses. Alongside of her, Stephen Costello will return to the stage of Opera Palace as Rodolfo after his house debut in 2019 for Madama Butterfly. The Artistic Director of Opera Ono Kazushi will be on the podium to lead this Puccini's eternal masterpiece.
We hope you enjoy one of the NNTT's best-loved production at home!
