Premiere of the production: 18 May 2021

Tchaikovsky made his name as an opera composer with The Oprichnik. The opera’s plot takes audiences back to the time of Ivan the Terrible. At the centre of the dramatic narrative is young boyar Andrey Morozov, who is determined to restore his family’s honour and get his beloved back. He makes the difficult choice to join the ranks of the oprichnina — the tsar’s personal guard — and finds himself sitting next to his beautiful bride at his wedding feast... However, the oath he has made to the tsar requires his complete obedience to the will of the monarch, who has plans of his own for Andrey’s young wife.

Tchaikovsky finished work on the score for The Oprichnik in the spring of 1872, but the world premiere took place in St. Petersburg only two years later, on 12 April 1874. The performance, conducted by Eduard Napravnik, was well received not only by the press, but also by the audience. The opera ran for three seasons, but Tchaikovsky’s opinion of his work remained unchanged despite this success: he was dissatisfied with The Oprichnik and forbade publication of the score until he had reworked it. Tchaikovsky worked on ‘updating’ the opera in the last year of his life, sometimes erasing entire pages from the first version of the score, but he ran out of time to bring his plan to fruition. Using Tchaikovsky’s edits and notes, the creators behind the Mikhailovsky Theatre production have slimmed the score down, removing redundant repetitions and dramatically reimagining certain parts of the opera.

Премьера постановки: 18 мая 2021 года

С оперы «Опричник» началась слава Петра Ильича Чайковского как оперного композитора. Сюжет переносит слушателей во времена Ивана Грозного. В центре драматического повествования молодой боярин Андрей Морозов, который хочет восстановить честь семьи и вернуть любимую. Сделав трудный выбор, он вступает в опричнину, личную гвардию царя — и вот уже на свадебном пиру он рядом с красавицей-невестой... Но клятва, данная царю, требует полного повиновения воле монарха, у которого свои планы на молодую жену Андрея.

Работа над партитурой оперы «Опричник» была окончена Чайковским весной 1872 года, но мировая премьера состоялась в Петербурге лишь два года спустя — 12 апреля 1874 года. Спектакль под управлением Эдуарда Направника был благожелательно принят не только прессой, но и зрителями. Оперу показывали три сезона, однако этот успех никак не повлиял на мнение композитора, который был недоволен «Опричником» и запретил печатать партитуру до тех пор, пока не сделает новую редакцию. Чайковский активно занимался «обновлением» оперы в последний год жизни, порой вычеркивая из первого варианта партитуры целые страницы, но довести задуманное до конца не успел. Основываясь на этих правках и заметках, создатели спектакля в Михайловском театре сократили партитуру, убрав избыточные повторы, и драматургически переосмыслили отдельные фрагменты спектакля.
