Description
A great Russian epic famous for its Polovtsian Dances, Borodin's only opera questions the responsibility of the leader to his people. After abandoning power to his brother-in-law's despotism to go into battle, Igor is taken prisoner with his son. From his refusal to pact with the enemy to his return to his family, the prince's actions invite us to rethink our own moral values. By stripping the work of its most basic folklore, Barrie Kosky's direction underlines this universal need for ethics.Product information
