When Tsar Ivan the Terrible chooses Marfa as his new bride, a web of romantic and political intrigue brings dire consequences for her and everyone around her. Based on real events, this taut melodrama brims with passion, jealousy, potions and poisons. Its striking melodies, great arias, and grand subject matter make it a perfect fit for the Bolshoi’s brilliant soloists and resplendent orchestra and chorus.

Stirring and rich in drama, this 2014 Bolshoi production of the opera which originally premiered in 1899, is replete with gorgeous, multi-coloured, gold-embroidered costumes, and impressively lavish sets based on Fyodor Fedorovsky’s famous designs for an earlier, landmark, mid-20th century staging. It is The Tsar’s Bride in full glory.
