After 13 years, Mariusz Treliński again uses  Boris Godunov by Modest Mussorgsky, an operatic historical fresco, but also a psychological drama revealing the mechanism of gaining and grounding power taken over by violence and deception. The director first approached  Boris Godunov in 2008, first staging him at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater in Vilnius, and a year later at the National Opera in Warsaw. The press then wrote that in Treliński's interpretation it was "a cold and austere, but suggestive story about a ruler killed by remorse" ("Musical Movement") and "a story about the birth of the tsar's power and his fall" ("Gazeta Wyborcza"). 

Boris GodunovModest Mussorgsky is a brilliant musical adaptation of a truly Shakespearean tragedy by Alexander Pushkin under the same title, referring to one of the most dramatic periods in the history of Russia, called by historians great sadness. At the beginning of the 17th century, the tsarist crown was reached by a whole procession of usurpers claiming to be Dmitri, the son of the last tsar of the Rurik dynasty. Dimitri was murdered by the mighty boyar Boris Godunov in order to sit on the throne himself, and then shared his fate murdered by Dmitri the Samoitan. He, too, fell into the modes of history and was ground by them, and then three other usurpers sat on the Moscow throne. Only the appearance of Mikhail Romanov ended this period of chaos and lawlessness, and opened a new dynasty of Russian rulers. However, it did not end the self-lease,

Modest Mussorgsky inspired Boris Godunov to create a libretto with the history of Russia written by Mikhail Karamzin. “I was living in Boris , in  Boris and in my brain, my time in  Borislived means with dear, indelible traces, ”he wrote in a letter to his friend. He finished the first version of the opera in 1869, and then began efforts to have the work staged at the Imperial Mariinsky Theater in St.Petersburg. The score was, however, rejected by the theater committee. The author was accused, inter alia, of no more serious female role - this version lacked the so-called act III with a polonaise and the role of Maryna Mniszech, obsessed with the thought of marrying herself as the tsar. All this is in the new version. In 1872 Mussorgsky developed a new score, which he called "a folk musical drama in four acts with a prologue, according to Pushkin and Karamzin." Folk, because in the opera an important role is played by the collective hero, the Russian people, present from the first scene of the work, on the one hand, humble and submissive to the monarch, whom he considers to be God's anointed,

The second version of the opera also did not find recognition by Mariinsky's management and would certainly have been lost had it not been for the intervention of the first soprano singer of this stage, Julia Feodorovna Platonova, who threatened the director of Imperial Theaters with her departure if she did not stage Boris Godunov . In this way, she secured the role of Maryna Mniszech in the premiere performance of the opera, which took place in St. Petersburg on February 8, 1874.
