Boris Godunov Live from The Royal Opera House Live screening of the greatest of Russian Operas, Boris Godunov, on Eden Cinemas at 15:00. The acclaimed new production of Musorgsky is conducted by Antonia Pappano, and follows the dramatic rise and fall of the Tsar. Both haunting and political, the opera is a drama of conscience and oppression where the characters are pushed to their very limits. Boris Godunov, performed by the excellent Bryn Terfel, is considered to be one of the greatest and most complex bass-baritone roles, and the monumental score is enhanced by huge choral forces.
