Boris Godunov is a folk musical drama. The theme is the period of the reign of Tsar Boris Godunov, from 1598 to 1605, immediately before the start of the Time of Troubles. This is a multifaceted picture of the era, the characters in which are depicted with exceptional depth and psychological insight. The tragedy of the loneliness and doom of the tsar is revealed with amazing power, the rebellious, rebellious spirit of the Russian people is innovatively embodied.

The world premiere of the opera took place on January 27 (February 8), 1874 at the Mariinsky Theatre. The democratic public greeted "Boris" enthusiastically. Reactionary criticism and the society of the nobility and landlords reacted sharply negatively to the opera. Soon the opera began to be given with arbitrary cuts, and in 1882 it was removed from the repertoire altogether. Boris Godunov was revived in St. Petersburg many years later (1896) on a private stage, edited and orchestrated by N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov. Since that time, the triumphal procession of "Boris" began on the stages of the musical theaters of the world
