Boris Godunov is an opera in four acts by Mussorgsky, composed and orchestrated between October 1868 and December 1869. The libretto is based on two works: Karamzin's History of the Russian State and Pushkin's Boris Godunov. Andrei Konchalovsky's staging at the Teatro Regio in Torino is based on a new musical structure stemming from the 1872 written version by Mussorgsky and the adaptation work carried out by director and conductor Gianandrea Noseda. The staging is sober and the scenery so simple that the contrast with the shimmering costumes is striking. In the leading role is Bulgarian singer Orlin Anastassov, one of the world's most outstanding basses, and winner of first prize at Plácido Domingo's Operalia Competition in 1999. He is now a worldwide star on the lyric scene.
