Prince Igor by MET Opera

Metropolitan Opera, New York
Borodin’s defining Russian epic, famous for its Polovtsian Dances, comes to the Met for the first time in nearly 100 years. Dmitri Tcherniakov’s new production is a brilliant psychological journey through the mind of its conflicted hero, with the founding of the Russian nation as the backdrop. Star bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov takes on the monumental title role, with Gianandrea Noseda conducting.
Prince Igor is a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and De Nederlandse Opera, Amsterdam.
