Absurd of Russian power, or “Borys Godunov” at the Frankfurt Opera

Keith Warner in the staging of "Borys Godunov" constructs a vehicle to show the past of Russia – a peculiarly absurd case. Thomas Guggeis conducts, extracting from Musorgski's score her darkest colours. It is grotesque and shockingly pessimistic. That is, like Russia – erstwhile and now.
