Boris Godunov - Preview clip

Kindesmord, intrigierende Mönche und ein dem Wahnsinn verfallender Zar – Modest Mussorgski hat den thematischen Bogen weit gespannt in seiner ab 1868 entstandenen Choroper, mit der er über den Umweg eines historischen Stoffes das Bewusstsein für seine eigene Zeit zu wecken versuchte. Was ihn als Künstler des 19. Jahrhunderts umtrieb, war die Psychologie der Massen. So übernimmt in Boris Godunow neben dem Titelhelden vor allem das russische Volk, das jubelnde, hungernde, das fordernde und fragende, die eigentliche Hauptrolle: „Die feinen Züge der menschlichen Natur und der menschlichen Masse aufzufinden, ein eigensinniges Bohren in diesen unerforschten Regionen und ihre Eroberung – das ist die Mission des echten Künstlers. Zu neuen Ufern!“

Deutsch

Infanticide, scheming monks and a tsar going insane – Modest Mussorgsky drew a wide thematic arc in his choral opera, written from 1868, with which he attempted to awaken awareness of his own time using historical material. What drove him as an artist of the 19th century was the psychology of the masses. In Boris Godunov , for example, alongside the hero in the title, it is above all the Russian people who take on the main role, the jubilant, starving, demanding and questioning: “To find the fine traits of human nature and the human mass, to stubbornly drill into these unexplored regions and theirs Conquest - that is the mission of the real artist. To new shores!”

Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky, From (2023/2023), Directed by Calixto Bieito,, Conductor Vasily Petrenko, Nationaltheater, Munich, Germany
