The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh (2012)
Opera lies at the heart of Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful idiom, but performances are few and far between; this realisation of his penultimate and grandest stage work is a very rare and special experience. Kitezh is known as "the Russian Parsifal", which encapsulates its mystical flavour and steady unfolding of a legend of redemption
Directors: Dmitri Tcherniakov, Misjel Vermeiren.
