Modest Musorgsky adapted Pushkin’s historical chronicle of this turbulent period into an unparalleled masterpiece, putting his musical language at the service of Pushkin’s words and turning the chorus into a truly dramatic character. La Monnaie presents Musorgsky’s first version of Boris Godunov (1869), in which the narrative unfolds inexorably.
